Notes for Milton Smith:
Notes for MILTON SMITH:
Milton was a member of the first Board of Education 1860/67. In 1854 he was
elected Sheriff and became a lifelong resident of Mayville. He was a
supervisor of the Town of Stockton 1848-53.
Obituary reads: The death of Milton Smith of Mayville was announced on
Thursday evening, filling with sadness the hearts of his many friends and
relatives in this his early and long time residence. Stockton has but few,
if any, citizens who formed a more general acquaintance than the departed.
His public positions as county and town officer were entirely creditable.
Naturally generous and outpsoken in his ideas of human responsibilities his
life was devoted to the best interests of his fellow men. The funeral
service at his former home on Saturday was well attended by the family
relatives from Jamestown and Stockton, and his remains rest beside his
parents in the Stockton cemetery.

Lewie ??
Calvin, died 12-8-1864, age 80
Wife, Eunice died 11-6-1847 age 64
Born ca 1783 in Ashfield MA.as was Calvin, her husband
Any info Please
Just in;
children: Alfred (married Isabella Cook), Lewis, Priscilla (married William
Miller), Theresa (married Chapin J. Miller). All born between 1810 and
1824. I had found ages ago, and didn't record the source (natch) of a
Eunice Cobb with parents David and Priscilla. I think that may be correct
since Eunice and Calvin named a daughter Priscilla. Eunice died Nov. 6,
1847 and Calvin remarried in 1850, Lucy McClellan

Hello All:
I was fortunate to be given this a few years ago. This is my maternal great-grandfather. I thought you all might find it interesting:This is an article from a newspaper someone gave to my mother many years ago. I don't know the name of the paper or the author. If anyone recognizes it, I would love to know where it came from. A brief outline of his ancestry follows the article.
"EXPLOSION OF LOCOMOTIVE KILLED THREE ON CENTRAL"
October 21, 1920
Exploding with a terrific detonation that awakened half the residents fo the city at 5:40 O'clock this morning, the boiler of engine 2633 on an eastbound New York Central through freight ripped the locomotive apart and took the lives of three members of the train crew.
The explosion occurred 200 yards east of the Harvester Avenue crossing as the engine was passing the concrete warehouse of the Massey-harris Harvester Company, east of the Batavia Cemetery. the dead are: William J. Cobb of 1967 Bailey Avenue, Buffalo, aged 45, head crushed; Frank Volkwein of Buffalo, aged 35, firemn, skull crushed, right leg fractured between hip and thigh, left leg crushed, right shoulder crushed; Frederick Eckrich of 238 Avenue A, Rochester, aged 28, head crushed, right leg and right knee fractured.
Forty feet from the west end of the warehouse the locomotive boiler blew up without warning. The entire boiler was torn from the trucks and hurled nearly a hundred feet ahead of the train. Parts of the engine were scattered half a mile and the members ot the train crew were blasted from their positions in the cab between the boiler and the tender. The engineer and fireman were killed instantly. The student fireman, who was evidently in the runway between the coal box of the tender and the cab was blown to the tracks, died on the way to the Batavia Hospital.
According to railroad men, Engineer Cobb stopped his train, which was known as WS 4, at the water tank west of Walnut Street. Water was taken the in the tender and the train proceeded east. The theory of the cause of the explosion, advanced by engineers who visited the wreck, was that the water in the boiler was practically exhausted and that as the eningeer opened the injector throwing cold water into the boiler. The explosion followed immediately as the water from the injector was converted into steam instantly expanding with a terrific force.
DRIVE WHEELS STAYED ON TRACKS
When the fifty ton boiler was blown from the tracks the four drive wheels stayed on the rails. The weight of the half mile of merchandise cars behind the locomotive pushed the engine along some fifty feet before the air brakes, which set automatically, held the train. At the point where the explosion happened, parts were hurled in all direcitons. The concrete wall of the Massey Harris warehouse forty feet away was perforated by the flying missiles. Several holes from one to two feet in diamter were torn in the wall. Several of the concrete blocks were driven into the inside of the building and were followed by the heavy metal.
Bolts and pieces of the pipe were showered in every directions. Pieces of metal thrown high into the air came down on houses as far away as East Avenue, more thn hlaf a mile away from the scene of the explosion.
Parts were found near the Canandaigua branch of the Central several hundred feet south of the main line tracks.
At the point of where the explosion took place there are five tracks. East bound passenger track, known tot the railroadmen as Track 2, is at the extreme south, Track 1, the westbound passenger track, is next and track 3 is the westbound freight track. The locomotive, which blew up was on track 4. Track 5 was north of the freight track.
With a heave that the mightiest crane on the Central system could not have equaled, the expanding steam lifted the mammoth boilder and hurled it through the air. From the point where the explosion occurred tot the place where the nose of the monster buried itself in the crushed rock bed under the rails measured fully 100 feet. In describing its trajectory through the air the upper half of the locomotive turned over on its back. The front end struck the southerly rail of the westbound freight track next to the track on which the train was traveling. The rail was broken into half a dozen not over four feet long. The sharp blow practically crystalized the heavy rail, which weighs 120 pounds to the foot.
Plunging through the north rail of the passenger track next to the south rail of the westbound passenger track which was bent out to the south like a sharply drawn bow.
Nearly three hundred feet farther east the front plate of the locomotive, some ten feet in diameter, laid in a bent and twisted mass where it had fallen in a field south of the tracks. It had blown off the front of the engine by the explosion and sent through the air as a discus thrower hurls the circular metal disk.
Tangled and broken telegraph wires on the north side of the tracks were mute evidence of the havoc raised by the flying missiles.
Engineer Cobb was literally torn from his throttle by the blast. When the huge boiler went twenty feet into the air it carried the cab with it. The crashing of the front end of the locomotive catapulted the entire cab 150 feet through the air. The cab travelled in an arc sixy feet high and landed on the telegraph wires at the easterly end of the warehouse north of the tracks. It broke through the wires and landed, a crushed mass, beside the tracks.
Cobb went over the top of the boiler and struck on the west bound track fully 150 feet from the point where the boiler blew up. His brains were dashed out against the southerly rail of the track. His body was found between the east and westbound pasenger tracks with practically every bone in the body broken. He was evidently killed instantly by the explosion, his face being blackened by burns and scalding steam. His head was also crushed.
When the news of the explosion was flashed back to the New York Central station the Batavia hospital ambulance was summonded and Dr. Horace H. Le Seur was called. The student fireman was still alive, although the left side of his head was crushed in. He was found thirty feet west of the scen of the explosion on track 5. He was breathing with difficulty and was unconscious. He died just before the ambulance reached the hospital.
Eckrich was making his first trip on the New York Central as a student fireman. He left Rochester last night for the west on a freight locomotive and was returning east to Syracuse. He was recently discharged from the navy where he served as a fireman. Under the railroad regulations he would have to make two more trips without pay before he would get a birth as a fireman.
William H. Streeter of Syracuse was conductor of the freight train. He was in the caboose at the time of the blast with the rear end brakeman and escaped injury. The head brakeman, whose name was not learned by the local railroad officials, had set the retaining brakes in the rear of the train in preparation for the escent of the Byron grade and was on his way to the engine when the blast came. A few minutes earlier start in setting the brakes would have cost the brakeman his life.
When the explosion tore the engine to pieces the head brakeman was hurled from the top of the fifth freight car in the train. A blast of stone and cinders swept the "deck" of the cars. The brakeman landed on his feet and aside from the shaking up and cuts caused by the stones form the roadbed he was uninjured.
Conductor Streeter called aid for the dying student fireman. Trainmaster Charles E. Olp was summoned and he took charge of the removal of the dying man. Andrew M Clough, suprvisor of tracks, the ranking official of the Central in Batavia took charge of clearing up the wreck. Wrecking crews from Buffalo and Rochester arrived about 9 o'clock and moved the boiler from track 1 on to track 5.
Thousands of people heard the explosion and while many were stirred with memories of bomb explosions it was more than an hour before the news ahd spread about the city. Hundreds of employees of the Massey Harris Harvester company were late for work as they visited the scene of the explosion in swarms.
Coronoer Snow, who had been summoned, viewed the reamins of Cobb and Volkwein, whose bodies had been left where they struck the ground. He ordered the reains taken to the Charles W. O(U?)rtley's undertaking rooms. It was several hours after the explosin before the names of the brakemand and his studen assistant were learned. None of the members of the train crew knew them. Identification cards were found on the men when their clothes were removed at the undertaking rooms.
Under the direction of Supervisor Clough passenger traffic was kep moving in both directions on track 2, the only one not blocked by the wreckage. At. 7:30 o'clock the tracks were roped off to keep back the big crowd which was gathering.
State troopers patrolled the tracks and kept the crowd back until the ropes were strung by railroad men. Corporal Serve was in charge of the detail and Troopers C.H. Miller and Rosenkratz were on duty. Later in the morning after the wreckage had been move, they were recalled and Patrolman Donahue went on duty. All during the morning couwds visited the scene of the explosion.
Division Master Mechanic Crandall of Buffalo came to Batavia early this morning and made an enspeciton of the boiler. None of the railroad official were willing to be quoted upon the cause of the explosion, but fireman and engineers expressed the opinion that the water was practically out of the boiler when the explosion occured, evidence of the metal being burned having been discovered. The engine was the latest type of freight locomotive in use on the Central.
"Low water" was the reply of one of the officials who was questioned with regard to the cause of the explosion and who did not wish to be quoted. "That is all that causes these explosions."
One firemand expressed the opinion that the crown sheet under the boilder had cropped out. The explanation was tabooed by experienced reailroaders, who declared the only result of such an accident would be to emptey the water in the boiler into the fire. In such a case a cloud of steam fromt the fire might have scalded the engine crew, but there would ahve been no explosion.
Within six hours after the explosion the three tracks which were destroyed by the bursting boilder were ready for traffic. Supervisor Clough's staff of maintenance of way men in Batavia was augmented by crews from sections east and west of the city and the work of relaying the tack was rushed.
At 7:30 o'clock, two hours after the explosion whad set the air brakes on the tain, the air began to escape and the cars jolted forward so that the rear drive wheels of the locomotive, the flanges of which were resting on the rails, were jarred off. The front truck of the tender left the rails and a big seam opened in the bottom of the tank, letting the water run out. The cars were later pulled by a yard engine and a new engine and crew obtained to run the train to Syracuse. Conductor Streeter finished his run in charge of the train.
Engineer Cobb was a married man. He was well known to railroad men in Batavia. Volkwein was also married, Eckrich, the student fireman, has a brother in Rochester.
Three equipment inspectors of the Puclic Service Commission visited the Batavia scene of the engine bioiler explosion of the New York Cental during the morning, returning to buffalo at 10:43 o'clock. It was noted that early morning trains brought many railroad officials to Batavia from Buffalo and Rochester and it was rumored that the engine of the 2600 type was the theme of much discussion in railroad circles.

Subject: [MDBALT] Cemetery Restoration
Message-ID: <28.753e839.26835b59(a)aol.com>
As requested by several list members, I am posting responses to my
question
about "Methods used to fix broken gravestones" and preservation methods.
I
am also sending this information to several other mailing list I am on.
Please be patient. I have been given several useful websites and
personal
experience replies. They all have educated me on how I need to go about
accomplishing a task that I have committed myself to. I am using the
copy
and paste system to post the replies I have gotten, so I apologize now
for
the indentation marks that will appear.
THIS IS HOW IT ALL STARTED:
I made a commitment to myself today, and now I need advice and help to
try to
see this thing through.
While walking through a the cemetery today where we buried my dad a few
weeks
ago, it saddened me to see how many "old" grave markers were broken and
laying in pieces on the ground. Some of these markers are dated back to
the
early 1800's. I know for a fact that there are no family members left to
tend
to some of these markers that are fastly ruining. I have spoken to a
couple
of funeral homes and all they want to do is sell me new markers! Ha!
Something I in no way can even began to afford. Does anybody have any
idea
what I would use to put these markers back together? Or any suggestions
on
maybe building a frame to set them back up in? There is no problem going
into this particular cemetery and doing this maintance work as far as
permission from anybody. I have already checked on that. Some of the
broken markers are of my ancestors. I also want to do some preventive
measures to insure that this sort of breakage is not going to happen to
some
of the other old markers that are now beginning to lean. I have enlisted
help from some other people to raise the markers and pour concrete under
them
to level them up.
I just need suggestions on how to put some of the broken ones back
together.
Any ideas or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
*** here are a few of the responses I got. THANKS EVERYBODY FOR GETTING
ME
GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION! ***

I have seen old, broken stones preserved by embedding them flat on the
ground
in a cement base the size and shape of the grave. That way there is no
problem with the stone's falling over or getting knocked over again.
*****Regarding imbedding old broken tombstones in concrete: If the old
stone
is
the material that I call sandstone, the white colored stone that when you
rub
your finger across it feels like sandpaper, then by no means have it
lying
flat with the face up. The stone will be unreadable in a very short time
if
left
face-up. It will just erode away. Make your casting and get it all
imbedded
and then stand it erect like regular tombstones. Marble and granite will
last
better if turned face-up than this material. The old gray slate like
material
also erodes pretty fast if left face-up. Epoxy cement seems to work
pretty
well for putting the puzzle back together. Bill
This is a subject very close to my heart also! For about six years I
have
been trying to reclaim (from nature and neglect) a
cemetery that about 53 to 60 good people are buried.
This graveyard also has stones dating back to the early 1800's to 1943.
I
have for the last year taken every opportunity to learn
all that I can about restoration of gravestones. And like every thing
else
everyone has their own opinion.
One thing that everyone does agree on, is to do only what is necessary to
preserve the stone from further deterioration. You should
first attempt to determine what kind of stone, that the
headstone is. In my case most are sandstone and soapstone, which as
they
age become
very easy to damage. You can rub you fingers on them and the surface
will
just come off!!
I have two headstones that are about five tall, that are broken in at
least
two places
each. These two stones present my greatest challenge.
If your stones are "not", Granite or Marble are something as hard....be
careful.
I am using aluminum angle iron cut to length, on the edges of the tall
headstones. I tie two lengths of rubber coated wire top and
bottom to press the angle iron firmly against the edges.
This should keep the taller stones from breaking apart due to shifts in
the
base.
I think that you would be better off to use about six inches of gravel
vs.
putting down cement to
stabilize the base.
Again it depends on the make up of the stone, but trying to use cement
to
patch or strengthen,
from what I've learned is not a good thing.
Using Epoxy to repair a crack must be done with the smallest amount of
Epoxy
that you can.
Its best for the stone not to put Anything that has chemicals in its
makeup
on or in the stone.
Depending on the thickness or condition of the stone and if you feel
comfortable in doing so, you might try to use Fiberglass or
Teflon rods to hold the pieces together.
Unless you have the above mentioned Marble or Granite, don't use
anything
except water and
a soft brush to clean a stone.
I will as soon as I can afford to, have some pieces of Plexeglass cut to
size and attach this to a frame, built above the headstone
to slow the cracking of the stones caused by rain water
and in the winter, water that freezes in the cracks.
There is an old cemetery (and old church) in Conway S.C. that has had a
lot
of stones damaged by vandals. They hired a
proffessional to fix the stones. One thing that was done to
(help)prevent
future damage was to have several thick pieces of
Plexaglass surround the stone.
Nothing touching the stone! I talked with the Director of the Horry
County
S.C. Historical Comm. recently and this appears to
have stopped people damage.
Again the above is things that i've found out, from a few people who I
think
know what they are talking about. And things that i've tried.
Vicki:
My GGG Grandmothers was buried in Rutherford Co NC in 1851. Her grave
stone either fell or was knocked over about 60 years ago. My Great uncle
had a form made approx. 3 inches larger than the stone all the way around
with 2'X6' except the top there which was an oval to mach the stone.
They
put some wire in the bottom, poured cement with pea gravel in about half
way and then laid the broken grave stones in the concrete and then
finished
pouring cement around the stone. They also poured a cement base and set
the repaired stone in the base. It looks as good now as it did 60 years
ago.
Jim Haynes
PS: The form can be used over and over if you have more then one broken
stone. Now days Home Depot sells cement ready mix in small bags which
will
work very well.
Greetings,
What a project! I certainly wish you well and want to thank you for your
interest.
About 10 or more years ago, we visited several old centeries in Arkansas.
The solution to preserving broken headstones there was to gather up the
pieces, lay them flat on the ground and cement then together so now they
were lying on top of the ground, rather than standing upright. My
husband
and his uncle did a few of them that we found needing repair, and while
the
results were not as beautiful as new monuments, the pieces of the old
ones
were preserved and fairly readable. To us that was much preferred to
gathering up the pieces and throwing them away, which was what happened
if
no one cemented them down. I don't know if this practice is wide spread,
but it certainly worked in a couple of little cemeteries back there.
I've
never heard of a professional way to repair headstones, but I'm sure
there
is one somewhere -- hopefully it would be economical as well as beautiful
and functional. Bertha
Hi Vickie,
Saw your post and that is a nice thing you are trying to do. For what
it's
worth, one of my ancestors is buried in Hall Cemetery, Lone Oak, Hunt
Co.,
TX. She died in 1871. Her marker had been broken at some point in time.
Hope you can visualize how someone helped to keep the pieces together at
least. They were fit together as best could be, then cement poured
around
them. The marker now lies flat on the grave and the cement part would
probably almost cover the grave. It's much larger than the marker. I do
not
know how this would affect the marker in time, but I am glad that someone
did
this as otherwise evidence probably would have been long gone by now.
Since
you are going to have cement out there anyway, just thought I'd mention
that.
Good luck to you. Probably some kind soul like you helped to preserve my
gggrandmother's marker. Some of it is missing as there is evidence of a
verse or inscription on it, but broke off just above the base.
Vicki
One good way to save these graves is to write the information on them
down
and donate it to USGENWEB. They will be here forever and you will be a
hero to many.
As for repairing them I have had results drilling a small hole in the two
pieces and inserting a piece of metal (rebar or threaded rod) in the
holes
to hold them together then mixing matching stucco to repair the crack
that
is left. The piece of metal does not have to penetrate more than 4 inches
even on large pieces. They sell a diamond point concrete drill bit that
will drill marble. The bits cost about $8.00.
One suggestion is to drive two steel rods down on both sides.

MA
Bassett Bassett is David's mother's maiden name - he resided
in Erie Co, PA. I haven't had time to investiage this
family
James Mary Hale is James' second wife and she died in New
Salem, Illinois. They had a child who was a
publisher of a newspaper back there. I haven't had time to investigate this
angle yet.
David jr
Samuel
Solomon
Elijah
Phebe
Priscilla
Williams died in the earlier 1850's and Lorinda remarried. The second
marriage didn't last long for some reason because the family moved to
Wisconsin by 1860 without her second husband. Lorinda died 24 Dec 1882 in
Liberty Pole, Vernon Co., Wisconsin.
I have a lot more information about this family - if you need anything else
please let me know. If you ever come across anything else about this family
I would very much appreciate hearing about.
Thanks,

Hi all,
I have updated my site again, mostly for the Bishop,
Daw(Cornwall), Dawe(Devon) and Cobb and Morgan lines and I
have added a table to my page from "The Peopling of
Newfoundland" . It shows where in England people migrated
from and the year. Brief but well worth putting on my page.
My Carse line from Northumberland now has the rest of the
charts listed instead of just Carse.
I also actually one a Top Eng Gen Award! :o) I don't know
who submitted it but, I was rather honoured and surprised to
find it in my emails!
If anyone finds any connections, please let me know?
Bye for now,

Dee
I am on an extended research trip at the moment and have come upon some
interesting clues.
In the court house in Chester Co, SC I found a deed showing James Cobb
selling land to Wm Boyd. The abstracts that I have seen of this document
are very misleading. I copied the entire document and learned some
important things.
1. This deed was a transfer of 100 acres instead of 400. This deed was
dated1791.
2. This tract was part of the 400 acres purchased by Nathaniel Cobb in
Camden Dist from DAvid Pruitt in 1776 and this deed is recorded in
Charleston, not in Chester.
3. This tract was part of a grant to a Richard Waring, who appears never
to have taken possession.
4. This James was most likely to be the son of this Nathaniel because he
wasn't married yet, thus no wife's name on the document.
5. There was some concern as to whether there was a clear title to this
land.
6. Nathaniel's estate wasn't administered until 1814.
7. James was the youngest son and his father's estate was administered
by his eldest brother but here James in selling his share before the
estate is settled.
8. James was moving to Abbeville Co, SC - his first child was born there
in 1792.
Now for the questions:
When did Edmund and Henry sell their shares? What happened to the other
100 acres that should have gone to the girls?
How did James get away with selling his shares before the estate was
settled? If there was any controversy over his doing this, where are the
court records?
