Hi Folks, I have a request for info from anyone out there who can answer a question for me. I ran across the cemetery records for the Doty/Dryad cemetery on ROOTSWEB. I found the person I was looking for, I think. She is listed as Cora B. Thepelt. There are no dates listed for birth/death, the object of my question. There is one additional problem also. I believe she was married to a Topelt, not Thepelt. Does anyone know of another source that might have the dates with the spelling Topelt? Additionally, does anyone happen to know who her husband was, children, etc.? Thanks and a Happy Holiday Season to the PSRoots group. Hugh
Hi Hugh, The Dryad-Doty (or Sylvan) Cemetery in Lewis County is online in the Washington Cemetery Project, which may be where you saw it. There is a listing there without dates for a Cora B. Thepelt, and also eight additional listings for the surname Toepelt, death dates from 1918 to 1975. Stones or markers frequently carry spelling errors, and it could also be that damage or erosion to the marker could cause it to be read incorrectly by the transcriber. Cora is probably part of the Toepelt family. Of the eight burials listed, six occurred prior to 1950, so those death certificates would be easily and cheaply available to you on microfilm through any Family History Center. Checking those out might give you some good clues.
