I have no Noah Rose in my database although the Roses I am tracking have a strong presence in Franklin and Licking counties, the direct ancestor being Phillip Rose. Looking at my stuff, Phillip had a daughter Sarah who married an Abraham Lacey Rose and they had a daughter named Margaret, DOB 2/15/1822 who died in Ia in 1894. She was married to a Silas Haynes but I have no other data. So this is just spinning out the web. I do have a plat map of Jefferson Township, Franklin Cty for 1856 with Steven Gilbert Rose having 50 acres NE of Hadley Corners.

I actually have family that was buried in the old North Graveyard, according to Laura Esswein's, an ancestor of mine, who were not moved to Greenlawn when they were supposed to be. I do not think, though, that they have unearthed them as of yet. Ehen they initially dug up some remains 3 years ago, I went down and spoke with the archeologists and they said that given the year Anna and her son Michael died of cholera, they were probably buried more in the area of the parking lot.

On May 16 this year some SBC workers were digging near the North Market when more remains (1 adult body) were unearthed. Work was again halted while archaeologists came in to take a survey of the work area and examine the bones. Among the remains were buttons from a man's suit, eyelets from shoes, and beads from a baby's necklace. Over the years workers in the area around North Market have learned to expect to find human bones as this is where the North Cemetery was located during most of the nineteenth century. All remains were supposed to have been removed to Green Lawn when the cemetery was closed more than a century ago, but it has become obvious that not all were moved. There is a section set aside at Green Lawn where any "new" remains are buried after examination. The newspaper articles about the two most recent discoveries can be found in the Columbus Dispatch archives online (requires a subscription). The most recent discovery was reported May 16. An article about the 2001 discovery appeared in the May 20, 2001 issue of the paper (I'm pretty sure there were additional articles around that time.) A footnote: The North Market was once on the "Haunted Columbus" tour as it was said that John Kerr, 2nd mayor of Columbus (1818-19) was still buried in his original grave in North Graveyard and was angry because his remains hadn't been removed to Green Lawn. Actually, by the time the William's Bros published their "History of Franklin & Pickaway Counties, Ohio" in 1880 John Kerr's grave had been "lost." John Kerr's brief biographical sketch from the 1880 history is online at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~rocky/FrankPic/kerr.htm Donald M. Schlegel has compiled an excellent history of the old Columbus graveyards, the book can be found at the Columbus Metropolitan library, but is not available for check out. The complete title and library locations that have the book can be found by searching the library catalog at http://www.cml.lib.oh.us/ (do a search by author as Mr. Schlegel has written several books about Columbus and Franklin County). The book is also available at The State Library of Ohio (http://winslo.state.oh.us/services/genealogy/index.html) and the Ohio Historical Society (http://www.ohiohistory.org/occ/menu.html), and several other libraries.

Hello, I had awhile back that somewhere in Columbus some men were working on the street, and found some graves, I just wondered what they are doing about that, and where are planning on moving them too. jamie

All, This was a response to my note about the index and contains some very good and valuable advice. I thought I would share with everyone. Leona says it much better that I ever could. Thank you Leona Joe Leona, I know what you are saying. My index in only to the cards and I've had many many requests for the complete record of what is on that card. I've ask the cemetery to copy the lot books for me (I agreed to pay for this) and they wouldn't do it. Besides, like you say below, those index cards are only a clue, not a absolute. So many of the cards are so poorly typed and the information so minimal that I usually give people the e-mail address to contact the cemetery for further information.

I sure hate to be a nit-picker, but you keep saying that you're sending the complete record to people when there is so much more to most of the records. To get a complete record they need to write to the cemetery and ask for it. The interment cards that were filmed by the FCGHS are really only the index to the complete record. Sometimes the plot contains the remains of several generations with many different surnames. The complete record usually contains the names and relationships (to the owner) of everyone buried in the plot and is accompanied by a map showing the locations of each individual grave. Sometimes there are notes added to the record. This is especially true if a person's remains have been removed and taken to another cemetery or moved to a different location in Green Lawn. The reverse is true, too; if a body has been removed from another cemetery and brought to Green Lawn--there will be a note on the records that gives information not shown on the interment card. I've had people question the accuracy of the interment card when the Green Lawn interment takes place months or even years after the death of the individual. This can't be written off as a mistake made by the person who typed the interment card--the complete record should be checked. In the case of one family that I know of, the complete record helped the researcher track a family member from Columbus to Cleveland--he'd had no clue what had happened to that particular branch of the family. When I got the complete record for him there was a note that a child had been reinterred in Cleveland. Sorry, I didn't mean to write a five minute speech.

To All, Just a note in regards to the Green Lawn Index. Please keep in mind that what you view at http://www.geocities.com/joefleshman/index.htm Is only the index. For a complete record send a request for the complete record by giving the name of the person(s) you wish the complete record. We just don't have the web space to put the complete record on line. All of the files for the other cemeteries in Delaware and Cincinnati are just that, Indexes. There is a complete record available. With the next update, there will be over 55,000 records in the Green Lawn Index. Enjoy Joe --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
