I am new on the list, Bev Klemme has helped me tons in the past and I
owe her big time -- kuddos to her, now I am back into some genealogy as
I am filing some old paperwork away.
A lot has changed in a few years time so I am going to ask some
questions that may seem pretty stupid.
I have a death certificate I obtained a year and half ago for Clarissa
Buckhanen. She was married to Thomas Jefferson Buchanan. 79 years old,
widowed, Hagerstown, Wayne Co, IN March 19, 1893 from Pneumonia 8 days.
On the back of the death certificate someone typed the following
information and I would like to know why:
Birth Place: Pennsylvania
Occupation: Landlady
Father: John Daugherty - Born in PA
Mother: Rebecca Knoots - Born in PA
Note: Book showed spelling on last name as: Buckhanen
Note: Book showed date of death as: Mach 19th not 18th
Info returned by Dr EH Thurston
Thomas and Clarissa are both buried in Westlawn Cemetery in Hagerstown,
Wayne County, IN. Is this an existing cemetery? Can someone PLEASE
check the cemetery records for me? I have written to Westlawn but they
never responded and it has been over a year now. Also, could someone
take a photograph of the headstone (if there is one) for me? I would be
willing to pay reasonable fees. I generally charge for doing them here
in Cleveland, OH so I would like to pay about the same rate I charge.
I believe they had five daughters. I am assuming these are his
daughters as I have pulled names off Thomas J Buchanan will. Now I just
need to hunt for what happened to them.
Thanks
Michelle
