I went in to Raysville/Knightstown records to check on errors of original entries, and sure enough it still shows Jacob Williams died 1913 in Philadelphia MM, and buried there, he is not buried there, he is buried next to his father Joseph William, his wife Sarah Ann Charles, daughter MaryEtta Williams, as listed in South Lawn Cemetery in Dublin, Wayne Co, IN in Beverly Younts, Wayne Co, Cemeteries. So if that error is still listed use these records with caution. I'm Don Cordell, great grandson of Jacob. Jacobs daughter Nellie Catherine Williams married Calvin Leroy Huddleston, and both of them are buried about 30' from Joseph Williams and Jacob Williams. Now why the error? My grand mother told me her dad couldn't be buried for 6 months, because the ground was too wet. So I guess they gave up and buried him in Dublin, next to the family. March of 1913 must have had a lot of rain. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 7:58 AM To: Jean Leeper Cc: QUAKER ROOTS Subject: Re: [Q-R] Abstracts of the Records of The Society of Friends in Indiana

The spring of 1913 saw some of the worst flooding ever recorded in the Ohio Valley. Your grandmother's account makes sense. This proves that at times even the most careful record keepers get something wrong. Effie Keys, who was the recorder of births and deaths for Knightstown Monthly Meeting in 1913, appears to have been painstaking in her work, judging from the detailed notes about individuals she often made. I got a chuckle when I found that my own monthly meeting book had recorded my birth incorrectly and made me a year younger than I am.
