Tombstones
St.
Thomas West
Cemetery
Finally
got to the St.
Thomas cemetery.
We went for
a day trip and
spent about
3 hours, roaming,
talking to the
caretaker and
taking digital
photos. Here
are some of
the results.
John
and Gertie Watson
Hiram
and Eliza Rushton
Horace
and wives
Agnes
and John Wilson
James
W. Rushton and
daughter Minnie
John
and
Gertie
Watson
|
John
Watson
was
my great
grandfather
James's
brother.
Found
out
from
the
records
that
the
"K"
stands
for
Kelman.
The
caretaker
suggested
that
his
middle
name
could
have
been
his
mother's
maiden
name
and
then
found
a Mary
Kelman
Watson
died
in 1934--my
great
grandmother?
I had
1939,
but
9's
and
4's
look
similar.
I
looked
for
a Mary
Kelman
in the
International
Genealogical
Index,
and
sure
enough,
Alexander
Watson
married
Mary
Kelman
in New
Deer,
Aberdeen,
Scotland,
January
17,
1865.
I kept
searching
and
found
several
of their
children's
births
in Scottish
parish
records
and
Alex's
and
Mary's
parents'
names.
I'm
so happy
I went
to the
cemetery!
My
grandmother
told
me John
married
Gertrude
Miller.
The
graves
of John
and
Gertrude
were
in the
Mellor
plot.
Alan
and
Eliza
Mellor
are
buried
next
to them
and
I'm
guessing
they
are
Aunt
Gertie's
parents.

Rushton
and
Eliza
Schmachtenberger
Rushton
|
Hiram
was my
great
great
grandfather--my
grandmother
Ariel's
grandfather.
He is

with Eliza
Schmachtenberger

his wife
and my
gg-grandmother.

Here's
a cozy
one: Horace
Holroyd
Rushton,
my g-g-grandfather's
son married
Mary Perry.
She died
and he
then married
her sister,
Nell Perry.
They're
all buried
together
here.

Ellen
Watson

archives
who is
wearing
highland
gear.
