Give them a call at: 714-596-5233 and get a cemetery location. I will photograph the location upon earliest convience provided she has a monument and will send a 3.1 megapixel photo via e-mail. I do not recall seeing that name anywhere. Other Ohio death certificate numbers from 1913 to 1937are online at: http://ohiohistory.org/dindex/

There should be a certificate in the Health Department north of town for 1913 onward, try calling them and give them the information below and they will tell you where she is buried. 714-596-5233 31835 State Route 93.

Madge I tried looking in the 1880 census, and did not find her. If she was living then and if you can supply more information I'll be happy to try again.

Maude Beatrice Hull Children: Harold Hull, Alice Josephine 5- Harold Hull (b. 10 Sep 1901 Monroe Co., IA) m. Vivian Elva McClenahan (b. 18 Nov 1900, Benton Co., IA) Children: John Edward, Robert William ***************************************************************************** Wapello County History Chapman Bros. (1887) John McCarty, of Highland Township, owns and occupies 160 acres of good land on sections 29 and 32, where he has established a comfortable homestead, and in the pursuit of agriculture has met with fair success. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1809, and is the son of Joseph and Catharine (Livingston) McCarty, natives of the above-named state. They removed to Virginia when John was a lad of twelve years old, locating in Lexington, Rockbridge County, where they remained until 1821, thence went to Ross County, Ohio, where our subject remained fifteen years, then started for the farther West, and coming into Iowa, decided to settle in Wapello County. He first purchased a farm on section 19 of Highland Township, which he occupied for six years and which he afterwards disposed of, securing the place which is his present homestead. The marriage of John McCarty and Miss Catharine Anthony took place October 4, 1832, in Ohio. Mrs. McC. is also a native of Pennsylvania, and the daughter of Jacob and Mary E. (Davis) Anthony, natives respectively of New Jersey and Ireland. Their homestead circle was completed by the birth of seven children, as follows: Jemima is at home; Elmina married A. Gleason, and they live in Missouri; William is a jeweler of Saline, Mo.; H. B. lives in Montgomery County, Mo.; Mary S. and S. Q. are at home; Clara is the wife of Jasper Grey, of this county. The family residence is comfortable and convenient, and the barns and out-buildings of the homestead denote thrift and prosperity. Mr. McCarty is highly respected by all; he has served as Township Clerk, and been otherwise identified with public affairs. He is Democratic in politics, and in all respects is considered a good citizen and valued member of the community. Wapello County History (about 1925) Charles W. McCarty, postmaster of Ottumwa, is a popular citizen, widely and favorably known in this county. In the discharge of the duties of his present position he is always prompt and capable, and business-like methods are manifest in the control of all interests of the office. Wapello County numbers him among her native sons, his birth having occurred within her borders on the 14th of April, 1864. He is the son of John W. and Margaret J. (Warren) McCarty, natives of Ohio, whence they came to Iowa with their respective parents, and all four of the grandparents continued residents of Wapello County until called to their final rest, their graves being in this county. John W. McCarty devoted the greater part of his life to the profession of school teaching, but passed away when a comparatively young man of thirty-six years, his death occurring February 22, 1874. His widow still survives and makes her home with her children. In their family were five children: Charles W.; A. C., who was killed in a railroad accident; Maggie, deceased; W. F. living in Oskaloosa, Iowa; and John H., of Stockport, Iowa. Charles W. McCarty has spent the greater part of his life in Wapello County, where he was reared upon a farm, early becoming familiar with the duties and labors incident to the development of the fields. When seventeen years of age he entered the railroad service as a telegraph operator for nearly a quarter of a century he was connected with the Rock Island Railroad Company. He has since been continuously in public office and the record which he has made as a public servant is most commendable. After serving as auditor for two years he was re-elected and at the close of his second term he was made deputy auditor, in a position which he continued for a year and a half, when he resigned to become postmaster of Ottumwa, his commission being dated July 23, 1913. He has been a lifelong democrat, never changing his party affiliation, and he has labored earnestly to promote the growth and insure the success of his party. In 1890 Mr. McCarty was married to Miss Sophia Houk, a native of Wapello County, and a daughter of Jacob and Cloe J. (Comstock) Houk, who were early settlers here and continued to make their home in Wapello County throughout their remaining days. The father was a farmer by occupation and devoted his entire life to that pursuit, save for three years, in which he served his country as a soldier in the Civil War. His wife was a daughter of Dr. A. B. Comstock, one of the pioneer physicians of this county, who rode horseback over a large section of the country, undeterred by the by the hardships and difficulties that attend the physician who practices in a frontier region. He became a large landowner, and was well known and highly respected by all. Unto Mr. and Mrs. McCarty have been born four children: Gladys M., at home; Merrill and Vera, who are now attending Ottumwa High School; and Pauline, who is also in school. The family are Presbyterians in religious faith, and Mr. McCarty gives generously in support of the church and takes an active part in its work. Fraternally he is connected with the Ottumwa Lodge, No. 16, F. & A. M., and with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, and he is loyal to their teachings concerning the brotherhood of man and the obligations of mutual helpfulness. His residence in the county has brought him a wider acquaintance, and his many sterling traits of character have gained him the enduring regard of those with whom he has been associated.

Happy Hunting everyone and enjoy, Lona Stevens New Cemetery's on line are: Ebenezer Cemetery, Swan Township, Vinton County-Hocking Line. Note: Ebenezer has many broken and repaired stones. It appears as though someone has vandalized it at some time. If you have relatives buried here you may want to check on their stones.

*grin* I think that's my Clement. He married Cora Alice Hutchison in 1901. Cora was the daughter of George Washington Hutchison and Angeline Tatman. I have lots more on her side if you are interested. I didnt have ANYTHING on him so this is a real find! Cora's sister Lucinda was my Great Grandmother, and sister also to Ethyl Nowacki (there is a link on the Vinton List to her memoir---its online at www.webroots.org ) If you havent read it, you might find it interesting. I know it mentions Cora. Let me know if you want her info!
