Joyce's Search Tip - December 2007 -
 |
Do You Know that you can search just the
Bradford
County Cemetery Records on the site by using the Cemeteries -Bradford
button in the Partitioned search engine at the bottom of the
Current
What's New Page? If you use that partition follow these steps to
search just one cemetery.
1. Choose Cemeteries - Bradford.
2. Enter part of the cemetery name [ie Ballard or Berrytown] AND a
surname.
3. Choose the Find ALL Words option. Then it will find just the pages
with that surname in the one cemetery you indicated.

All I can see in this cemetery is one headstone for Jane Reed and a
footstone. I would welcome any other data regarding this family burial
plot. Every once in awhile you see silk flowers on the grave.

There is no evidence of other burials but there could be. The ground is
hollowed in many places. [Ground depressions indicate burials, and I believe
that is what Carol is describing- JMT] Crepe Myrtle was prevalent everywhere.
The 1850 Rome, PA. Census reveals the only Wm. S. Reed in this area
was born in New York about 1820. His wife was Mary A. She was born
in PA., aged 23 years. They have a daughter Martha, aged 4 years, and a
son Moses aged 1 year, both born PA.
The Orwell Church records, found at the following URL. http://www.rootsweb.com/~srgp/detty/detty281.htm
record that Mary Ann Reed (wife of Wm. S. Reed) died July 16, 1850, aged
28 years 20 days and is buried in the Orwell Valley Cemetery. This
suggests that possibly he had a second wife named Jane who is buried here.
They can not be the same woman.
Joyce, The Reed cemetery on the Rome site...when
I was there and brought it to your attention there was more than the two
stones that are listed on the site. I will try to find what I have,
if I still have it. The Mary A. Reed that is buried in the Orwell
Valley cemetery must have been the first wife of Wm. S. Reed as she died
7/1/1850 at the age of 28yrs and 20 days, and her stone says the wife of
Wm. S. Reed. The wife of Wm S. Reed buried in the "Reed" burial ground
must have been the second wife having died 3/9/1854. Can't help but
wonder where he is buried.
