~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lenita was the daughter of Charles Bliven and Sarah D. Sullivan.

Lenita was buried in Poindexter Cemetery according to the Episcopal church record. Over the years many burials were removed from Poindexter Cemetery to Mountain View Cemetery, which opened in the fall of 1888. What were thought to be the last remains were moved in 1921 and Poindexter Cemetery was abandoned. Several stones were left behind at Poindexter Cemetery. These stones were moved to Mountain View Cemetery in 2017 and placed along the east fence.

Lenita's stones were among those moved. See Lenita May Bliven
