Joyce - I just noticed that in the Old Methodist Church, West Burlington grave marker read that Nancy Stanton is recorded on your site as d. Aug 11,
1887 - 2 yr. - dau of Joseph A. This may be a mistake in transcribing.  According to the Joseph A. Stanton Family Bible, Nancy, wife of Joseph A. d. Aug. 14, 1887.  Joseph d. Nov. 18, 1863, so surely he would not have a daughter aged 2 in 1887.

The next time we are in the area, I will try to get down and check.

Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New year.

Don

Dear Joyce,

I just noticed that Marion Morley Pierce is listed as the daughter of Jacob Morley in the Old Burlington Church Cemetery listing.  She was the daughter of Justin Morley.  Can that be corrected?  Recently a few people have been doing Morley genealogy and I'd hate to have them get mixed up.  Through Justin they can join a number of groups like the DAR.  Jacob might not work so well.

Best wishes, Joyce Dubert Everingham


OBITUARIES FOR OLD BURLINGTON CEMETERY


BEACH , Mary Jane - Mrs. Gorton Swain.
Mrs. Gorton Swain of Burlington, departed this life Sunday morning, July 31, 1904. She had been in very poor health for several years and for the past four months had been a great sufferer with a cancer on her liver, which caused her death. She was a very patient sufferer, and although family and friends, yet we believe it was all for the best, that she should not suffer longer but go to her reward. Leaving a record behind that she was a true Christian, a patient sufferer, a faithful wife and mother, and will be missed by a large circle of friends.  Mrs. Swain was 62 years, 11 months, and 5 days of age and was born in Burlington, Bradford county, Pa.  Her maiden name was Mary Jane Beach. She was married March 10, 1859, to Gorton M. Swain and went to house keeping on the farm on which she died, leaving her husband, two daughters, one adopted son and eight grandchildren to mourn her loss, namely Mrs. Nettie Ward of Burlington, Mrs. Ellie Horton of East Troy, and Charlie who is at home, one adopted son Amy, having died several years ago. Two brothers Anthony Beach of Bloomington, Neb., and James Beach of Troy, still survive. Funeral services were held Tuesday at 11 o’clock at her home and were in charge of undertaker J. W. Beaman of Troy, who conducted it in a satisfactory manner. Rev. J. L. Phoenix of Troy, preached a very appropriate sermon. The bearers were Burt Guild, Delos Blackwell, Edgar Dibble, Mit Case, Frank Carry, Frank Henson. The choir consisting of Myron Allen, Florence Houselander, Ernest Hall and Mrs. Estell, sang very appropriately for the occasion. Interment in Old Church cemetery of Burlington.

? Mrs. Katharine Whitehead of Burlington, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Hettie Johnson, August 9th, of general debility, aged 83 years. Funeral services held Friday at the Burlington Methodist church. TGR 1904
