The McPherson Family

I haven't been on here for quite some time, but I figured I'd add a quick note about some research on two McPherson family members buried in McCaffery Cemetery in West Lincoln, Ontario.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Absalom McPherson was born around 1831 in Gainsboro, Ontario, to John and Margaret McPherson. He married Louisa Ann Lymburner on September 14th of 1864 in Lincoln, Ontario. He later married Nancy Maria Emerick on October 20th, 1896 in Townsend, Norfolk, Ontario, when he was 64.

Louisa Ann Lymburner was born around 1834 to Jacob and Anna Lymburner. She was born in Caistor, Lincoln, Ontario. She had at least four children with Absalom - Maggie (born 1862), Annie Cirerlla (Cirella?) (born around 1869), Hattie G (born about 1875), and Ella May (born about 1873).

       - Maggie married Peter W Emerick, the son of Ephraim and Sirisia Emerick, on February 9th 1881 in Caistor, Lincoln, Ontario.

     - Annie Cirerlla (Cirella?) married Walter John Bouk, the son of John and Elizabeth Ann Bouk on June 6th 1894 in Attercliffe, Haldimand, Ontario.

     - Hattie G was living with her mother in 1901 in Grenville, Ontario. She was listed as single.

    - Ella May married Herbert Richard Diltz, the son of Hamilton Diltz and Lydia Dibble, on October 4th 1894 in Dunnville, Haldimand, Ontario.

   - The parents of Louisa Ann, Jacob and Anna, are potentially the Jacob and Anna Lymburner buried in the Lymburner family cemetery in Niagara Regional Municipality. Jacob died May 6 1847 and Anna died February 15 1879. The only problem is Jacob would've been in his 60s at the time of Louisa's birth, while Anna would've been 32.

The Bowerman Family

  My research on this family began after viewing some photographs my mum took when she went to a cemetery in Prince Edward County. I had no idea which cemetery, but upon searching on the internet, I found out that it was the Bowerman Hill Cemetery in Hallowell, Prince Edward County, and so my search on the Bowerman family began!                                    Stephen & Elizabeth Bowerman Stephen Job Bowerman was born December 31st of 1848 to Gideon Hughes Bowerman and Mary S Christy.

The Jamestown Masonic Cemetery

When I was in Jamestown, Tuolumne County, California, I decided to go visit the Jamestown Masonic Cemetery located on Jamestown road and easily accessible from Golden Chain Highway 49. I noticed that there are quite a lot of masonic cemeteries and gravestones in and around the Jamestown area.  Jamestown is technically a ghost town from the days of the California Gold Rush, although it does have a small population these days.
