Jane McKnight (#47025685)
 member for 4 years, 10 months, 15 days
Michael Gaines
Samuel & Jane McKnight @ Mount Moriah Cemetery
Neither person has a visible marker at this time, though it could have gotten knocked over and covered by grass over time. They are both buried in Sec 200, Lot 185. Samuel was buried on Nov 23, 1899 and Jane on Dec 20, 1899. They are two of six McKnight's buried here (the other four being Margaret, Jennie, Samuel, and Grace). If you would like, I can get you the burial dates for the others.

Greetings Jane!

See my memorial for Mai Garesche Norris (Mother Mary of St Anthony, RGS) on Find a Grave #89490110. Thanks to you I was able to attach her parents. I have a photo request out for her grave at Lourdesmont Cemetery in Clarks Summit. Carol Esselborn Fivecoat and I have been trying to get as many Garesche's in the database as possible. There are many buried here in the St Louis area.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day!

God bless!

Jane, I think we're related!!!
We've been looking for info on Annie and Thomas McKnight for YEARS and I accidentally found your entry on Find A Cemetary. Annie and Thomas were my great-great grandparents. We have lots of info on family members descended from them. Please contact me when you get this.

I'm not related, but I came across his death notice information and thought you'd like to have it for his page.

The Evening Bulletin – Philadelphia; Tuesday, October 19, 1948, Page 56:

"WILENT – Oct. 16, GEORGE W., husband of Sallie L. Wilent (nee Albertson). Relatives and friends, St. Alban's Lodge No. 529, F. and A. M., invited to funeral Thurs., 2 P. M., at his home, 2527 S. 19th st. Int. Trinity Lutheran Cem. Friends may call Wednesday evening."

Continue photographing the cemetery headstones of wherever you want to go. I notice Catholic cemeteries have recently gotten anal retentive about this, having the nerve to tell anyone taking photos that the stones are so-called "private property."

They're private property in the sense that no one can physically alter or take the stones with them, but those monuments are for public view and are, therefore, subject to be photographed. If people want the photos taken off the site after they're posted, that's a different story, but don't let anyone, much less the Catholic Church, tell you you can't photograph those stones.

Besides, they have nerve talking about anything being private when they sell private family information to anyone who will fork over $15.00 *per grave* for the information.

They can't ban you for taking photos of public monuments. (Sorry, but I'm just touchy about that subject.)

Jane, do you have a map of the cemetery? Would love to see that posted on the page for the cemetery. Do you recall where in the cemetery the Bell Headstone was located? I am wondering if they are any relation to me

I want to thank you for going out and taking so many photographs at the Old Cathedral Cemetery. I am finding names there that are connected to my family in various ways and it is so nice that someone has taken the time to do this. God bless...

Well, we wasted some precious time arguing, and it was likely all my fault...menopause is a b...! One day I'm fighting, the next I'm crying...I think we are at least indirectly cousins, as you'll see on Ancestry...I'm Murphy, Cohen, Barbera, Daviso...Preston Jane Vile married Maggie May Simon, a third cousin of mine. She was the daughter of Samuel P. Simon (1829-1903)and Lydia Ann Hoffner (1843-1926). Samuel's parents were John Simon and Amelia Mink. John's parents were Heinrich Simon and Apollonia Gettz..and Heinrich's father was Johann Christoph Simon, my great,great,great..grandfather who immigrated from Germany around 1750 to Passyunk. Interwoven in the Simon line are the Bastians, the Wilents, and the Reads, to name a few. Francis Read, another grandfather of mine, built a school in the area. So a hugh chunk of our family, yours and mine, is buried in Trinity Lutheran, and your memorials there are largely your family as well. If you don't mind, I'll add to them as time permits with as much information as I can. I apologize again for giving you a hard time. The work you're doing is really important to alot of people, the living and to those who have passed on. Talk to you soon Jane.

Friends?
Thank you, Jane. I sincerely apologize for any ill-tempered remarks from my end, and I think we may be related, because I feel we both were a little to quick to jump the gun. I should know better, however, because unfortunately I'm old enough to be your mother. I really do greatly appreciate the work you are doing, and I was positively thrilled to see your posting of the photos of my family's gravesites. I am a very frustrated taphophile, being unable to get around, and so many of relatives are buried at Trinity Lutheran. Let's say we just start all over, and forget about it. I do have a lot of family history about many of those buried at Trinity Lutheran, and truthfully, after I settled down and thought about it, I don't need to manage any memorials, I just wanted to add the biographical information, and be able to add flowers and momentos on particular dates. That was my only intent in the first place. When I saw the amount of memorials you were managing, I saw no problem in creating those of my family, where you were lacking biographies, or some otherwise incorrect information, to my small amount of memorials. I do not have a clue how to transfer photos so you received the justified credit, but there was absolutely no intent on my part to take any kind of credit for your photo. I just wanted to memorialize my family properly without intruding upon your time in adding the biographical information. And I'm not a stickler for rules, as you appear to be. Whether there's one memorial or a thousand is insignificant to me. All that matters is that the deceased are remembered, and the more the merrier. So do we start over as friends? And are you related to the Simon family or to the James McKnight family?
