Sharon: I found Ruth D. Culver and Sylvanus Dennis buried in the Linesville Cemetery, Linesville Borough, Crawford County, Pa. Here is the cemetery data available on them. Ruth Delilah Culver Dennis, wife of Sylvanus P. Dennis born 1843, died 1921 Sylvanus P. Dennis born January 8, 1843, son of Aaron and Betsy Meeker Dennis; died April 21, 1911 Walter A. Dennis, son of Ruth and Sylvanus P. Dennis, born January 29, 1873; died 1946. Another person by the name of Sylvanus is buried here also: Sylvanus H. Dennis (1894-1971) - unknown parentage at this time B. Josephine Dennis (wife of Sylvanus H.) 1895-1951 Here is what I found in the "History of Crawford County, 1885" on page 920: "William E. Dennis, farmer, PO Linesville, was born in Pine Township, this county, December 31, 1844; son of Aaron and Betsy (Meeker) Dennis. His father came from the eastern part of the State and located in Pine Township in 1819, and with three brothers - Moses, John and Joseph - located on the farm a part of which is now owned by John Gaffney, where they manufactured brick for several years. William Meeker later settled on the farm now occupied by the widow of his son, Smith Meeker, and lived there until his death. Aaron Dennis, the father of our subject, was twice married. His first wife was Betsy Meeker, by whom he had 11 children: William E., S.P., Polly J (Mrs. James Culver), Almira (Mrs. Andrew Jackson), C.C., A.T., Emily (Mrs. George Adsit), Mary (Mrs. S.E. Clark), Harriet (Mrs. D.A. Herring), John and Carrie. His second wife was Mrs. Lucy (Flick) Wrightnour, by whom he had four children: Nancy (Mrs. Charles D. Brown), Jonah, Charlie and Maggie. The subject of this sketch was reared in Pine Township and received a limited education in the common schools. He served in the late war of the Rebellion, being drafted for nine months, and went with Company K, One Hundred and Sixty-ninth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry; was on guard duty most of the time, and was honorably discharged at the expiration of his term. He was married September 30, 1873, to Lucy, daughter of John and Amanda (Smith) Rea, of Pine Township, this county. He located on the farm where he now resides in 1870, most of which he cleared and stumped himself and made all improvements in buildings, etc., and has now one of the best producing farms in the township. Both he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is a member of the GAR; has always been a Republican in politics and a strong advocate of prohibition." If you're interested, on page 922 of the "History of Crawford County" is a biographical sketch of Nathan Knapp, husband of Anna Meeker, daughter of William and Barbara (Frey) Meeker. Let me know!
