What if a priest claims a cemetery to be private? Is there such a thing as a private cemetery?

I believe you would have to get permission from the family of the person(s) that are buried there as they own the graves and stones.
I am new to this group email thing. I am looking for any one who is connected to the Bourget line from Woonsocket R.I. Susan This is a web site with the family names , so this will help to let you know if this is your family as well. _http://bourgetline.50megs.com/_ (http://bourgetline.50megs.com/)
Hi, I was told by a Catholic Priest that the stones in the cemetery were not to to be touched an that it is against the law. I wanted to raise some to ground level and he sai that I should not do that. Do you know if he is right or wrong.

Back in March, the Providence Journal newspaper ran a digital series about the Slave Trade in RI It should still be there. Go to www.projo.com and look for the link to Digital Extra If it's not there, search for Slave trade in the search box. They usually leave the digital extra pieces on their site for quite a while.

You may remember in the 60s that Hoyle Square was "revitalized", I surely needed it, so Gansert Piano moved to Johnston then. It closed in 1973 when the last remaining owner died. There seems to be a thread of healthfulness, medicine, music...maybe they had some theory about that and started a club? I find it very interesting that James A Bartlett was the composer of the piece, printed the work, sold it most likely, and housed the Emorian Marching Band! Then Orville Leach was president and he had the office at his house! They did make it sound so large and legitimate in the sheet music, etc. I wish there were a way to find out how many members this club had! Thanks, Lisa, for giving me some leads. I'll send out a letter to the Cranston Library to see if they have anything thing. It' would be a long drive from Oregon~!!!

Brenda - That's pretty neat! The Gansert Piano Co is still listed in Providence in 1960, but not in 1964. 792 Westminster St., Providence I just talked to a woman today who told me her son bought a house which turned out to be on part of the property their ancestors owned 200 years ago. He had no idea of that when he bought it. I'll have to have another look, but in one of the directories, I found a listing for Orville Leach, medicines.... so maybe they met each other through work or through work related activities - or maybe they were all musicians. I grew up in Cranston, but I never heard of the Emorians - probably before our time. We did go to the Auburn library, though. I wonder if the library would be able to help you? http://www.provlib.org/ You could try the ask the librarian pages at Providence for the Order of Emorians, Providence Lodge, Headquarters at Emery House. Pres. Maurice C. Smith, Sec. Orville L. Leach and Cranston for Emery Park - there is an Auburn branch of the Cranston Library - maybe they have some local history? http://cranstonlibrary.org/ Auburn Branch 396 Pontiac Avenue Cranston, RI 02910 (401)-781-6116 Hours: Monday - Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Email Address: aublib@hotmail.com Lisa ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brenda Hopkins" <behopkins1@earthlink.net> To: <RIGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2006 9:01 AM Subject: Re: [RIGENWEB] Query: Order of the Emorians > Lisa, > Now that you say James A.

Thank you so much, I have heard from Claire De Wolf. I will of course search those sites you've provided. All and any help may manage getting over the hurdle.. I don't give up easily so this may just be some of the information missed and much needed. Thank you again Beatrice
Please retract my posting in regard to the spelling of Ralph Madison. I am incorrect. Thanks for the "heads up".
Horace T. Ide and wife Harriet found in Pawtucket Directories 1890-92, he is a jeweller living at 25 Fountain St. Also found in census up to 1910.
Ella F. found in 1880 in Pawtucket listed as a Boarder with Horace Ide and wife Harriet. Names and ages etc. fit.

Dear Lisa Thanks for your comments and thoughts. I have asked the question on Brown County, Ohio List several times with no result, a friend went and searched in the Ohio Vital Records also without result... It would appear from my investigations that Sarah Jane and George Henry came back early in 1861, and the other girls Harriet, Amelia (now thought to be Minnie in 1870 Census), Lauretta (Samitta in 1860 Census) & Ella F (Ellen in 1860 Census) came back in the mid 1860's which leaves Louisa aged 11 in 1860 and Catherine aged 6 months in 1860.... NO sign of James & Maria(h) (the parents) that I can ascertain anywhere in 1870 Census, and not in any movement back to the UK either....

Hi Monica, I am not related to any Jencks, but on the chance that this may somehow give you a lead, I have the following information. I saw the Jencks name listed as a land owner in the early 1820's in Tiverton R.I. Land Records. I copied the part with the Jencks names. The land at that time was in Tiverton R.I. It is now part of Fall River Massachusetts. Good Luck Marge >>> January 3, A.D.1821 Book C pg. 97+98 Silas Gifford, David Gifford and Daniel Gifford of Tiverton sold land to William Healy 3 pieces or parcels of land in Tiverton first piece bounded Northerly part on lands of the said David Gifford and partly on land of the said John Jencks Easterly on a proprietors way Southerly by land of Samuel Gifford and Westerly on the Fall River Stream containing about forty acres more or less. <<<<<< >>>Tiverton Rhode Island Land Records volume 13 pages 380+381 Know all men by these presents that I Daniel Gifford of Troy in the County of Bristol and Commonwealth of Masachusetts yeoman in consideration of One Hundred and fifty five dollars paid by Abraham Jenks and Charles Jenks both of Tiverton in the State of Rhode Island yoemen the receipt thereof I do acknowledge, do hereby give, grant, sell and convey unto the said Abraham Jenks and Charles Jenks their heirs, and assigns, a certain piece or parcel of land situated in said Tiverton and bounded as follows viz Easterly on land of the said Daniel Gifford, Northerly on land of Royal Gifford and land this day conveyed by David Gifford to the said Abraham & Charles Jenks, Southerly on the pond and Westerly on the Fallriver Stream containing about thirty acres more or less...

Are you sure? I just checked the name on the plaque and Beth got it right as spelled. This from the Continentals: Ralph Madison, b. 5 Sept. 1880, Potowomut, Warwick, RI, d. 5 April 1909, Potowomut, Warwick, RI, buried Quidnesset Cem. Ralph was the second child of George W. Madison (b. Warwick, RI 1851, d. 1933) & Fannie L. (Spink) Madison (b. Mass. 1852, d. 1938). Ralph never married. His father was boss farmer for the Russells and the Goddards, the residence was near the present Goddard Park golf course clubhouse. If you know this to be another Ralph, can you explain?
Oh Dear, Thank you so much for that information. That does give another road to travel for their lives and family. I certainly do appreciate your looking for that information and responding to the query. Sincerely, Beatrice
From Mount Hope by George Howe----Two youngsters were captured by Capt. Jim DeWolf,a girl when she was caught peering from behind a mangrove and the boy while he was playing in the sand. They were of different tribes, he perhaps a Mandingo an she a Fula. On the trip home they were named Pomp and Peggy and became the pets of the vogage. When Nancy DeWolf received them--they were a Xmas gift from her husband in 1803/ She gave them the more elegant names of Polydore and Agiway. When they became of age, she had them married in her front parlor by Bishop Griswold. Page 131 (Each day little Agiway (and after her, her nine daughters) There is nothing further in this book as to the children of Polydore and Agiway.
