I do not have anything on this line except this. Noah CREMEANS married Elizabeth CUMMINS in 1833 in Kanawha Co., Va /WV I do not have a clue as to where she is from or who her parents or siblings are. I would appreciate anything you might have to help me on this. I only know there was a Charles Cummings in the area but no inkling if he is a brother or what. I do have most of their children but it isn't of any help to me as to Elizabeths parents and etc. Thank you in advance for any info at all on this line.

In 1867 it was duly incorporated by the State Legislature, its first trustees >being Daniel Allen, Wm. S. Clark, Adams Miller, Ery Earls, N. N. Treat, and E. F. Park. >Since that time three additions have been made to the grounds till at present they >contain about four acres. > > In July 1832, the cholera scourge visited the little hamlet being brought by a stage >driver from Rochester. From July 24th to August 16th there were fourteen deaths: twelve >of the victims were buried in the Mendon Cemetery and two on Taylor Street, the ratio of >deaths to the number of inhabitants of the place being one to every fourteen.

In some instances he was referred >from one surviving relative to another, and before the one was found who knew the facts >concerning the death and burial of the party in question he had sent letters of inquiry to >all points of the compass. Sometimes the facts were learned from an undertaker, again >from a doctor, while the poormasters' reports in the town clerk's office brought to >light others, and in a thousand and one ways he has worked till at least he is able to >place the facts in a concise form before those interested in the Cemetery. > > It is very interesting to hear him tell how he learned of this one's death and how he >got at the facts concerning that one. In one case he found by looking through an old >day-book of a merchant that such goods as are commonly used in making mourning and grave >clothes were charged to the family of the deceased, and in following up this slight clue >the desired facts were at last disclosed. > > The date of one lady's death for a long time puzzled him; but finally he came into >possession of a doctor's account-book dating back in the twenties, and from that he >learned that the physician was attending the lady in question.
