My gr. gr. grandmother, Elizabeth (Pearl) (Rearick) Harris, wife if
Wellington B. Harris, died 24 Aug. 1880 at Marmount (Culver), Union Twp. and
is buried there, somewhere. I would very much like to find her grave. Can
anyone tell me if the cemeteries of Union Twp. have been recorded and/or are
in print? Is there a database I might check? Does anyone have access to
any of those records, if any, who might check them to see if Elizabeth is
buried there?
In addition to helping me to document Elizabeth's death, it seems that
finding her place of burial is pivotal to finding the married name of one of
her daughters. I have a photocopy of a letter written by one of Elizabeth's
daughters, Clara Harris, to her sister, Amanda Harris Styles, informing
Amanda of the death of another sister, Ida A. Ida died 1 Feb. 1894,
probably in Cook Co., Ill. or Lake Co., Ind. and her body was brought back
to Marmount to be buried near her mother, as that was her wish. I would
like to learn Ida's married name and have not found a marriage for her, but
she did have a spouse by the name of Sam and a two-year old son by the time
of her death. Not knowing her married name is a major handicap in finding
her spouse and what became of her little boy, Ernest, after her death.
Can anyone help me, please?
Thank you,
Karen Coplantz
