St. Mary's Cemetery ~
Rattle Run Road
The issue
involves the Eckert & Bell family members buried at St Mary's, located on
Rattle Run Rd.
1. Eckert is used correctly for
Louise/Anthony/Charles E. It should be Eckert but is Ekert for Anthony/Mary
& should be Eckert but is Egkert for Andrew/Wilhelmina.
2. Bul should be Bell for all under listing Bul also at St Mary's. [evidence may
be seen under Bell at the Hillside cem where are buried Joseph & Lena May
Bell, mentioned under Bul as parents of several children].
3. Also at St Mary's, under Trumble, Clara's dob should be 1869 instead of
1883. [her parents were Nicholas & Catharine Rademacher, correctly listed
& I have census docs including Clara].
I do appreciate the online
evidence accumulating on the St Clair page. Mike

I found Frank
Lanridge Jr. married to Sandra Mouch. I knew a Frank Laparl Jr. who married
Sandra Mouch and the last I heard she lives at the ... Also entry above Frank
Jr. is Ellaine Lanridge d/o of Frank H., Frank Jr.'s father was named
Frank.

Beldock~Baldock
Another name to check variations on
the spelling - sometimes different people in different lines of
families and/or generations spelled things differently. I had this
note from a site visitor:
The Beldock surnames on the index, at least those for Ruby, should
be Baldock. This would make them agree with Frank's WWI Draft
Registration, and all the other Baldocks

I get email ... here is just one ... if
you have any information on this matter, please email the
County Coordinator
from the link on the home page.
Hello, Kathleen, I have written to you before and we had a nice
exchange of info about Lakeport Cemetary.
I
am now living in Florida with my Mom, who is almost 95. She gets
around very well for her age but has lost much of her eye sight. She
wants to stay in her home until the end.
My son is the township clerk for Fort Gratiot...he sent me a email
that has caused me to write to you and hope the info will get to
someone that can record it for future use, should anyone want it.
Here is his message...
I
got a call from a resident today about her kids finding a grave
stone in the woods. I made an appointment with her to show me the
head stone. The grave appears to be two graves. One has a
craved stone with the name of Leonard. The dates are August 16, 1860
and April 25, 1903 craved on a regular looking grave stone. The
other marker was made from concrete in the shape of a cross, this
maker is broken in several places. The cross had a steel
reinforcement inside the concrete like it was manufactured instead
of homemade. I didn't see any marks on the cross except where it
looks like a lady's broach inset in the concrete. Both graves have a
small wall around them of old broken concrete.
I
called a friend at the county clerk's office and she said the
county doesn't have birth records before 1868. I gave her the name
and dates but all she could find is a death certificate for a
William Leonard who was 70 years old and died 1904. So I started
looking at the old plat maps we have at the office. I found a
William Leonard owned 20 acres on Parker Road in the 1916 plat map.
I am thinking the grave is William's son and an unknown female. I
also called Lee Edie. Lee's grandparents settled here when they came
here from Germany. The 1916 map shows John Edie owning property next
to the Leonard's. Lee is in his 90's and is looking in his families
records clues.
The same people that called about the graves here also told me about
some near Lakeshore and Jeddo roads. They said there are about 12
graves where some one is cutting trees and trails through the woods.
I called Burtchville township about them.
I
am not sure what you do now, the graves are not in anyone's way. But
we would like to know more about the people. If William's son is
buried in the woods with someone else, where is William Sr. buried?

Do you know who would value this info and put it where it needs to
be? Hugs, Shirley
