Donna: Thank you! Are the online records for Spring Grove not neccessarily complete? I'll write to them. I've noticed quite a few of the people were moved from Catherine St., etc. that are listed there. I had also read mention of a "Health Department" in Cincinnati having kept epidemic lists. In fact, that's how I found one of my ancestors in Marietta in 1821/2, from their lists. Was this Health Department the precursor for the Sanitation Department I've read about that operated during and after the Civil War? Has anyone published these lists to your knowledge?

To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1250" It is my understanding that the earliest Cincy cemeteries are gone. Wesleyan is pre Spring Grove but they (Wesleyan) has had burials from some (not all) earlier cemetery / burial locations moved in there. Spring Grove may have also but you'll have to check with them on that. Following is a link to ftp files for Wesleyan which may NOT be error free. http://files.usgwarchives.org/oh/hamilton/cemeteries/wesleyan/ A site for Wesleyan done by volunteers and a work still in progress: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ohhamcem/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 9:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OHHAMILT] Cincinnati early burials and cholera epidemic records? My ancestor John Williamson who was a very early resident of Cincinnati (since 1803), on Water near what is now the Suspension Bridge. He probably died during the cholera epidemic (Between the 1830 City Directory publishing/1830 census and his Will Inventory dated Nov. 22, 1831 witness: Isaac G. Burnet). He was a cabinetmaker, as were his sons John, Daniel, Charles and William. Are there any lists of victims available, and where could he have been buried? I'm not finding him in any index. He was probably of German descent. Thanks so much for any ideas! Kimberly No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
