Blog entry about Bethlehem Cemetery in Washington County Arkansas. There’s several family members from different branches of my family buried there. Kind of interesting they were in the same place generations before their descendants married. Check out the photo and info on Martha Muse Oliver and her husband Benjamin Franklin Johnson. She was the granddaughter of two Revolutionary War veterans. Thomas West and Mary Renshaw’s tombstones are also featured.

Franklin Perry Whitney (1889 – 1967) – Find A Grave Memorial.

 

Pictures of Frank Perry Whitney and more info.  He’s Oliver Perry Whitney’s son.

These are from the Topeka Cemetery in Topeka Kansas. Again they were taken by one of my family members.

Here’s some photos from Dayton Cemetery in Bourbon County Kansas of members of my family. My cousin took these after my grandmother’s burial there. Thought I’d put them up.

This cemetery was apparently founded on land donated by Valentine Brillhart John S. Blagg’s maternal Grandfather.

It’s located near Devon, Kansas.

edit: oopsie, jumped the gun, despite the similar names, this is a diferent person. Keeping info online tho, it may help track the Bruner’s.

Found some info on May Baker — Beatrice Tyson’s mother. SHe married a John Carter after Sylvester Wright’s death. Here info from

Issac Galladay 1869 – 1930 – Find A Grave Memorial.

Issac Galladay is Oliver Perry Whitney’s half brother. Link is to pic of his tombstone.

I am finding that the info on Dorcas parents is messy out there on the web.   Her father William Hiram Blair and mother Elizabeth Black are pretty well documented.  HOWEVER, William is getting confused with another William Blair.  So our William’s birth and death info is often probably wrong.  Ours seems to have been born in 1777 and died in Missouri or Arkansas in 1846.
