No, No, The only one I know about is the one you mentioned on The Levering family, by Col. John Levering, 1897. HIPPLE, Rosanna, b. 16 Feb 1825, still living in Phila. at 1897: m. 1 Oct 1844, to LEVERING, Jonathan Hager, b. 13 Jan 1815, d. 15 Feb 1890, interred in Leverington Cemetery: Jonathan resided all his life near 39th street and Ridge Ave., Roxborough Sorry, I don't have any ancestry on Rosanna; I can share your experience with the bees at that cemetery in July. I first went there in summer, and I think I'll wait till October sometime or so to go back, and I will have SMITH & WESSON with me, next time; As I entered the cemetery, was almost to the circle in the center, gawking from side to side, a vehicle came toward me and almost ran over my car and some tombstones, hightailing it out of DODGE city, so to speak. Have no idea what they were up to, only my morbid waundering mind can tell me. Now when I enter a cemetery like that, first I check around for any suspicious looking non-deceased people before proceeding. Guess I'm just a dumb ole country boy searching for his roots! I'm assuming that there at the circle is where the church was located, maybe that's where Wigard's memorial is? Woops, Just remembered my GenBank.... found an obit....Rosanna died 30 Mar 1911....funeral services at the home of her son Samuel Levering at 5543 Ridge Ave., Roxborough....interment private...but I'd bet you'll find her beside her husband at Leverington Cemetery.

Yes, I'd be interested in doing that. There are cemeteries that I will not visit as I don't feel safe going alone due to either the neighborhood's reputation or unfamiliarity with the area. I hope this isn't off topic, it seems relevant to me, but one thing if a group does get together: parking is simply not available at Mt. Peace. I went there once (by accident!) and will not go back alone, but in that one trip, I did learn that if there were several cars, there is no place to park them. I wonder if one of the historical societies has something like this planned for spring? It would add safety (we don't know each other), would drum up business for them (if parking at one of them, we'd probaby visit too, and I'd be willing to pay for a tour guide), they might know of the best times to avoid funerals or the busy times, and maybe carpooling could be arranged that way as well. Two non-Phila historical societies that I'm aware of held bus trips to accomplish this sort of thing. I would very much like to visit Mt Vernon and Northwood. Germantown Historical Society mentions cemetery and other tours through GHS, so that's a way to see Germantown and I'm hoping to do that, though so far don't have a group to go with. Does anyone know if this sort of tour is already available elsewhere? Dashmom@aol.com wrote: A thought for Spring..........? I'd love to get to Mt. Peace, but I'm not going there alone! I wonder if in the spring, there would be any interest in getting some groups together to meet at the various cemeteries? I'm sure a group of five or ten would feel much safer walking around in some of the inner city cemeteries!

In some of the older cemeteries records are in old volumes by date. Therefore, if the death date is not known, a search might involve checking every day of several years. I can understand a fee for that. In other cases, however, files or cards are in alphabetical order, in which case it should only take 30 seconds to find a file. I think a fee of more that $5 in such a case is unfair, particularly because if you went to the cemetery they would give you the info on the spot for free. I have been researching for 7 years and have spent an exhorbitant amount of money. I stopped complaining years ago because it was pointless. I just pay what I have to, get excited by what I find, and move on to the next issue.

The quest for cemetery info from Mount Peace, stemmed from a desire to know where my gr3grandfather's sister, Hannah SAVAGE BUZZARD and her husband John BUZZARD were buried! The SAVAGE family was from E Coventry, Chester Co. and Hannah's brother Zenas SAVAGE is my gr3grandfather. She married John BUZZARD, who died June 1856, in Montgomery Co, was in War of 1812, received a pension for his service, and Hannah also was receiving widow's pension when she died. He was lock tender at Mont Clare Lock #60 in 1850, his son THeodore in 1860. File at Lock #60 showed they lived in Port Providence. After John died and by 1870 Census, Hannah was living with Lucinda BARNES and her husb Thornton BARNES in Phila. at 1909 Vine st. and she died in her home at on 5/22/1885 per this notice from the Pottstown Newspaper: Montgomery Ledger, May 26, 1885 Death of an Aged Woman Mrs. Hannah Buzzard, widow of John Buzzard, died on the 22nd of May, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Lucinda Barnes, No. 1909 Vine Street, Philadelphia. Deceased was in her 95th year, and her husband was a soldier in the war of 1812. Her maiden name was Hannah Savage, and she was born in East Coventry, Chester County, being a sister of Zenas Savage, of Chester County, and of Nathaniel Savage, who resides in Pottstown with his son in law and daughter, Nathan Hoffman and wife. Another brother of the deceased, George Savage, lives in Cedar Falls, Iowa, and is nearly 90 years of age. Mrs. Buzzard leaves two daughters and one son. The funeral will take place on May 26th, at 2 o'clock. p.m. This did not show 'where' she was buried. So.....when someone sent me Lucinda BARNES buried at Mount Peace per this notice in the Phila Inquirer, it gave me hope that maybe Lucinda had buried her mother there, too: No Headline (Mortuary Notice) Date: 1895-02-24; Paper: The Philadelphia Inquirer Page 13.

Kindly omit flowers. Can anyone check the May 1885 Philadlephia Inquirer to see if there is also a notice for Hannah BUZZARD. Maybe it will show her burial place? I have never found where John BUZZARD was buried. He died 6/16/1856 in Montgomery Co per her widow's pension application which I have. No place of burial was shown for him. I had check with some of the cemeteries around Mont Clare and Phoenixville, and while there are BUZZARDs buried at Morris Cemetery, he is not there.

Woodlands is in need of money. The information that was given to you was probably all that was available. You were paying for labor. Someone had to do work to find the information.

Woodlands Cemetery charged me $25.00 a few years ago.The only information I received from them was name of deceased , date of death, and location in cemetery.

Just sayin': In 1886, my great granddad, who was only 19, had to have his mother's permission to wed. His father was deceased at the time. The girl he was marrying - my great grandmother - on the other hand, both of whose parents were living at the time was only 16 and she didn't need permission -- at least I saw no indication of that on the 1886 marriage license application. My grandmother was 19 in 1921 and she needed her mother's permission (my great-grandmother had stated that the girl's father was deceased; he was not. They'd been divorced since 1905 and my great-grandmother had remarried). My mom was 20 in 1952 and she needed her mom's permission (my grandfather had been deceased for 20 years by then). In the late nineteenth century, PA had much stricter marriage laws than NJ. Women in PA had to have their parents' (read: father's) permission to marry until they were 21 (I believe).

The only cemetery I've ever had ask me for money was Mount Moriah. Others I just sent a request with a self-addressed stamped envelope and I got the info back quickly.

My husband's family "the Leverings" own its ground and form this cemetery. He is currently working on a list of some of those interred there. He can be reached at billcannon@billcannon.net His goal is to provide some form of list on line. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eugene Stackhouse" <genestackhouse@msn.com> To: <philly-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 3:12 PM Subject: [Phly-Rts] Cemetery Offices > Two cemeteries without on-site offices come to mind: Palmer Cemetery in > Kensington and Leverington Cemetery in Roxborough. > > Gene Stackhouse > I hate global warming.

Thanks for the information on the barracks. Very interesting and informative. Beth

THE BRITISH BARRACKS These were built in the Northern Liberties soon after the defeat of Braddock's army; and arose from the necessity, as it was alleged, of making better permanent provision for troops deemed necessary to be among us for our future protection. Many of the people had so petitioned the king -- not being then so sensitive of the presence of "standing armies" as their descendants have since become. The parade and "pomp of war" which their erection produced in the former peaceful city of Penn, gave it an attraction to the town's people, and being located far out of town, it was deemed a pleasant walk to the country and fields, to go out and see the long ranges of houses, the long lines of kilted and bonneted Highlanders, and to hear "the spirit stirring fife and soul inspiring drum!" Before that time, the fields there were a far land, severed from all connexion with the city by the marsh meadows of Pegg. No Second street road before existed; and for the convenience and use of the army a causeway was formed across those wet grounds in the line of the present Second street, along the front of what is now called Sansom's row. The ground plot of the barracks extended from Second to Third street, and from St. Tamany street to Green street, having the officers' quarters -- a large three-story brick building, on Third street, the same now standing as a Northern Liberty Town Hall. The parade ground fronted upon Second street, shut in by an ornamental palisade fence on the line of that street. The aged John Brown told me the whole area was a field of buckwheat, which was cut off, and the barracks built thereon and tenanted by three thousand men, all in the same year; the houses were all of brick, two stories high, and a portico around the whole hollow square. These all stood till after the war of Independence, when they were torn down, and the lots sold for the benefit of the public. It was from the location of those buildings that the whole region thereabout was familiarly called Campingtown. In 1758, I notice the first public mention of "the new barracks in Campingtown"; the Gazette stating the arrival there of "Colonel Montgomery's Highlanders", and some arrangement by the City Council to provide them their bedding, &c. An earlier attempt had been made to construct barracks out Mulberry street, on the south side, west of Tenth street -- there they proceeded so far as to dig a long line of cellars, which having been abandoned, they lay open for many years afterwards. In the year 1764, the barracks were made a scene of great interest to all the citizens -- there the Indians, who fled from the threats of the murderous Paxtang boys, sought their refuge under the protection of the Highlanders; while the approach of the latter was expected, the citizens ran there with their arms to defend them and to throw up intrenchments. Captain Loxley of the city artillery was in full army with his band. In time those Indians became afflicted with the smallpox, and turned their quarters into a very hospital, from which they buried upwards of fifty of their companions. It may serve to show the former vacant state of the Northern Liberties, to know, that on the king's birthday, as late as June 1772, "it was celebrated at the British barracks by a discharge of twenty-one cannon". Indeed, the artillery park, and the necessary stores erected along the line of the present Duke street, gave to that street its well-known former name of "Artillery lane".
