    1. Re: [PAMONROE] Seeking their gravestones: James & Jehila Anderson in Monroe County, PA
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: k_purchase Surnames: Anderson; Fullerton; Hamler Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.monroe/1172.3.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: This is to answer the various questions of previous posters: 1.) Yes, James and Jehila were born in New Jersey. 2.)Yes, they were living in Smithfield twp in 1900. 3.) I assume that they would be most likely to be buried in PA because Jehila's only son was buried in PA; in previous Census records they lived down the street from each other, and I know where most of Jehila's siblings (and her parents) are buried in New Jersey, and Jehila Anderson is not amongst them in their burial sites. 4.) Jehila's son Aaron died in 1918, and Jehila was still alive in 1900-- not that far apart to my way of thinking. Of course, if I can't find the Andersons in Monroe County, I will look for them in surname Hamler (Jehilah's maiden name)gravesites in Monroe County; then I will look for them in Warren and Sussex County, NJ where the Hamlers lived and tended to be buried in New Jersey. Only one other of Jehila's 9 siblings moved from New Jersey to Monroe Township (or any other township in PA) and that was her younger brother (James) Edward Hamler (d. 15 Feb 1911, East Stroudsburg, Monroe Co., PA). (Or 1905; it was difficult to read the Pension Record.) In the Census of 1880, (James) Edward Hamler was living in Portland Boro, Northumberland Co., PA. It just seemed that Jehila-- possibly because her first husband (Aaron's father) died young and she didn't remarry until she was in her forties- and Census records showed them living fairly close- that Jehila would be buried close to her son. I was surprised that I couldn't find her cemetery record in the same cemetery as Aaron's. Thanks very much for all the look-ups and direction I need to be taking...
