Section 3A, Lot 107
  • Joseph Strauss should be Joseph Stauss, born April 7, 1833, died December 16, 1920
  • Carrie Stauss, born January 2, 1865, died August 1, 1867
  • Harry Van Dyke Stauss, born March 3, 1870, died August 3, 1871
  • Judson "Jeddie" Stauss, born February 28, 1872, died April 17, 1875.
  • Information is from the Stauss family bible.
  • Joseph Stauss (incorrectly listed in the records as "Strauss") is listed having the same burial location, though his name does not appear on the monument (his date of death in the records should be December 16, 1920). His wife, Susan Duey Stauss, is not listed in the records, nor does her name appear on the monument. Her death certificate indicates that she is buried somewhere in Greenfield, presumably at the same location (she was buried April 6, 1917).

    Nearby, in Sec 2 Lot 79
  • Maud Burrell Fawecett is Maud Burrell (Hammer) Fawcett, daughter of Alvaritta and Frank Hammer. Her dates are 04 Jul 1881-02 Apr 1935
Proofs:
I have a paper handwritten written by Arwilda sometime between March 1 1895 and December 12, 1899, on which she listed the complete names and dates of birth for her parents and all of their children. I believe it was written between those dates because she included her father's date of death but not her mother's. In addition, I have my mother's Stevenson Birthday Book, wherein her grandparents, Ella and David Boggess, each signed on the page corresponding to their birthday, and each added their year of birth; Thomas' complete Civil War Pension record and that of Uria for her pension after his death, both from the National Archives; and a picture of Alvaritta where she wrote her name and address on the back.
