Oakdale Cemetery

totoprice — 20 Aug 2008 7:01:08 GMT

My name is Theresa and I live in Ohio.

My mother and her family were from Wyatt, WV and she used to swim and Grandma used to take me swim at the bridge at Oakdale. Along the way, my mother or grandmother told me that my father’s grandparents were buried on the right upon the hill. Coming from Wyatt before the bridge and before the turn off to Joetown – back one street. Is this the Mason and Hawker Cemetery and would this also be considered THE Oakdale cemetery?

James Humphrey/Umphrey is to have been buried there in 1934. (He would be my great stepgrandfather)

His wife, Millie Ann Hayhurst Kuhnes Umphrey/Humphrey, was probably buried there in 1915. (my great grandmother)

Her first husband, Sanford Kuhens, may be buried there as well in 1912. (my great grandfather).

If this is the right cemetery…what kind of shape is it in? Do they still bury there? Are there any records or someone whom I can call to enquire?

Any help would be appreciated.

Enoch and William Vincent

TedWeaver27 — 27 Jan 2007 9:05:22 GMT

I have found a reference quoting Enoch Vincent as saying that the Vincent and Freeland familys suffered greatly from the Indians in Pennsylvania during 1779. He probably said this in the 1850s or so.

However, there is no direct reference to William Vincent, Enoch's father. I was hoping to find someone who has an understanding of the Vincent family's relationships at in 1779. I would love to share my information.

Looking for Family of William Reynolds

ptownpest — 12 Oct 2003 8:58:45 GMT

Hoping to locate family members or other researchers with a connection to my REYNOLDS family, originally from MA.

Seeking information about William REYNOLDS and his family from Mannington, Marion County, W.VA.

William (b abt 1912) was brother to Arthur Charles REYNOLDS Jr.; they were sons of Arthur Charles Sr.(b Jun 1889 Cheshire, Berkshire County, MA) and unknown.

Parents of Arthur Sr. & Eva E. REYNOLDS GARDNER DECKER (b Sep 1885 in Cheshire) were Alvin J. REYNOLDS and Hannah (Anna) VAN VALKENBURG from MA & NY. Eva was my G grandmother.

Information from distant cousins indicate that William & Arthur Jr. grew up in separate locations; neither of them knowing of the other's existance until just a few yrs. before Arthur died. Mother apparently died when they were very young; Arthur Sr. was a career military man and couldn't take care of both boys. How William ended up in W. VA is unknown.

William married Mae (?) and had 8 known children but family members could only remember 4 names: Winnifred, Rebecca, William Jr. and David.

Would very much like to exchange family information and old photos with direct descendants of this family. Please help me to locate this family - there are lots of distant cousins out here looking for them!

Abraham Lee Hinkle and Evelnine (Della) Hinkle

paultucc49 — 29 Dec 2007 2:58:11 GMT

Looking to confirm info on Abraham Lee Hinkle (Jonas B., Abraham, Jonas) and wife Della or Eveline Hinkle (Adrew Jackson, Abijah, Jonas). According to the 1900 Fed. Census for W.Va. , Upshur, Washington District he was born in 1958 and Della in 1862. Have found a joint venture family tree sources on Ancestry.com that trace these individuals back 3 generations to the same ancestors: Jonas Hinkle 1781-1857 and Catherine Elizabeth Cooper 1777-1854. Is this a case of too many people entering unsourced info or do they truly share bloodlines through Abraham Hinkle 1811-1881 and Abijah Hinkle 1802-1876? I have not found a definitive maiden name for Eveline if Hinkle is her married name.
Mr. Tucker, I respect your privacy wishes but if you could help me straighen this out I would appreciate it very much!
Thanks for your time everyone!

Seeking information on Fred Snider JACKSON, d. Fairmont 30 August 1942

richards_clark — 23 Nov 2007 9:50:53 GMT

I have been asked to help someone re-connect to his family. I would very much appreciate if someone could check for a death announcement or obituary that might list family of Fred Snider JACKSON, born 1 May 1885 in Fairmont, Marion County, West Virginia and died there on 30 August 1942, and buried at Jones Cemetery.

Fred Snider JACKSON was the son of Joseph Sands JACKSON and his wife Fannie K. SNYDER. Fannie died in Fairmont on 10 April 1933 and was buried at Woodlawn Cemetery. Her husband Joseph probably died between 1900 and 1910.

Fred married Niomi Bell CLARK about 1905, but appear to have divorced before the 1930 US Census. In that census, Nioma was listed as a widowed HAYES, living in Pittsburgh, Allegheny Co. Pennsylvania with several of her children. Fred was later registered for the WWII Draft in Fairmont, but died not long after that registration. Children of the couple were:

1 - Laura Frances JACKSON, b. 20 May 1906 in Fairmont, Marion Co., WV. Shown as a 24 year-old OTTEN widow with her mother in the 1930 US Census of Pittsburgh.

2 - Jay Edward JACKSON, b. 19 Aug 1907 in Fairmont, WV, died 13 July 1969 in Pittsburgh, PA. Married Dorothy EICHHOLTZ.

3 - Robert Clark JACKSON, b. 23 Aug 1909 in Fairmont, WV d. 30 June 1910 Fairmont, WV.

4 - Thelma JACKSON, b. abt 1911 in Fairmont, WV, listed as divorced from a HAGEN in the 1930 US Census of Pittsburgh and living with her mother and daughter Betty B. HAGEN.

5 - Harriett Amanda JACKSON, b. abt. 1913 in Washington Co. PA

6 - May JACKSON, b. abt. 1915 in Washington Co. PA

7 - Charles R. JACKSON, b. abt. 1917 in Washington Co. PA

8 - Kennet JACKSON, b. abt 1917 in Washington Co. PA, possibly twin sister of Charles R. JACKSON

9 - Glen S. JACKSON, b. abt. 1919 in Washington Co. PA, was adopted as Glen S. WRIGHT. This is the branch of the family that is trying to reconnect with their living relatives.

So far, I haven't had much luck in trying to trace out Fred's children. I was hoping that there might have been an obituary printed locally that might have mentioned the whereabouts of some of his children in 1942, particularly the possible married names of his daughters. I've placed some census transcripts below. Thank you!

PHOTO FOUND - Asa Tennant

jsmith_052700 — 16 Aug 2007 12:52:23 GMT

Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to let everyone know about a photo I found today. The photo was in an old small album of tin type photos. It was the only one in the album that was named. The photo was of a man that appeared to be in his 30's and was labeled "Asa Tennant". There was another photo of the same man with a woman of about the same age.
I am a member of several MyFamily.com sites, and I was sure I recognized the name from somewhere. I have looked around some and can't find the name anywhere on my sites. I thought I would post this to a few sites in hopes it will help someone find some old family photos.
If anyone has a connection to Asa Tennant and are interested in the photos, let me know. The album and photos are in an antique mall near Fairmont WV. The price was $59.00 for the album. If anyone wants the store location and info, just let me know.

Jacob Mundell death date?? Please help

nikkinautumn — 20 Sep 2007 8:59:19 GMT

I am researching the Mundell line and have followed it to Marion County. Jacob Mundell was born June 20, 1818 in Coalfax, Marion Co, WV. The death date that I have found (from other researchers) is September 22, 1854. I was wondering if anyone had a way to look this up for me please to confirm the date.

My gg grandfather, Leonidas was born to Jacob and Matilda Brown Mundell on December 18, 1860. That is my problem. Lee's birth date is 6 years after his fathers "supposed" death date. I would like to confirm this. He may have been born out of wedlock after his father's death.

Hello,

I have reached a dead end on my great-grandmother! I hope someone here can help.
I have been looking for her death certificate but have been unlucky so far.
Her name was Eliza (Elizabeth) Samantha Barnett Boice. She married Samuel Moore Boice
in 1888. She died on Feb 14 1913, I thought in Braxton county which was where she
lived and her tombstone is located. So now I am trying the surrounding counties to find
where and how she died. Does anyone have access to death records of this county that could do a quick lookup for me?
Thanks so much,
Mark

Could someone help me with her phone number or contact her to let her know that I wish to talk to her?

Thanks so much...

Cemetery locations for Ballah Cem and David Youst Cem

exbuckeye — 15 Apr 2007 6:52:47 GMT

Hi:

I am looking for the location of the Ballah Cemetery, Grant Town and for the David Youst Cemetery in Fairview. I have tried using epodunk website but neither of them is listed. I am assuming that the David Youst Cemetery is a family cemetery since David Youst is buried there along with his wife Rebecca.

Also, I have other family names that I am trying to identify where they may be buried. Do you know if your library has information on burial sites?

Thanks...Mary Jo

I am seeking information about Michael BONOVICH who died 24 Dec 1920 in Annabelle, Marion Co., W.Va. as a result of a gunshot wound from a gun that went off while he was cleaning it. His death certificate lists him as a coal miner. Hank A. LLOYD was the Coroner and R.L. CUNNINGHAM was the undertaker. Is the undertaker's family still in business? Are there coroner's records available for the county? Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.

POW/MIA Korean War, Marion Co. HAMRICK

raysestak126 — 9 Feb 2007 8:13:19 GMT

I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service he gave Marion County, West Virginia as his home of record. His remains were never recovered.

Soldier: HAYWARD HAMRICK
Born: Sept. 17, 1928, Caucasian
Date of loss: Sept. 3, 1950, MIA

When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 54 families in West Virginia that have not been located. There is one family from Marion County that has not been located.

When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.

I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.
