I'm a passionate genealogist spending all my time on my own family tree including distant and married in ancestral lines while trying to dabble in as much genealogy volunteerism as possible. I'm even making it a career so I don't have to take breaks as much. ;) Hobby since 1999, profession since 2007.

 | RE: Frank S. Rowland You had the section they were in and I happened to stumble accross them. The cemetery is quite large and is terraced around the valley it is in. To find a request without a section is like finding a needle in a haystack and the office people aren't very helpful unless you are related. | | | jarp
 | RE: Alice S. Taughenbaugh Sorry for not repling sooner. Was hoping for a bad winter to get back on this site. I most likely put Alice in the wrong cemetery as my cousin was helping me with photo's and forgot to write down cemetery names. I'm in the process of re-visiting the cemeteries we did and making any corrections I need to make. I do have a great aunt Alice S. (Taughenbaugh) Lakin, but she's buried in Harrisburg. I will see where my mistake is and make the corrections. Thanks for letting me know about the error. If I do find another Alice in the Adams County area cemeteries I'll move her name into the correct cemetery.Added by jarp on May 16, 2012 10:40 AM | | | Sue Allen

 | RE: Rowland/Blair Hi Michael,
Great, I'll check my email! | | | Chad Eugene Schneider
 | Rowland/Blair Hi Michael,
I hope these messages have found you well.
I have been to the cemetery and have taken the photos of the Rowland and Blair markers (as well as the Edward Poliak and a Wilson monument that may or may not be related....will explain below.
The markers for Harriet O. Rowland, Sherman L. & Hattie R. Blair, and Louise E. Blair were so very hard to read that I made rubbings of them, outlined the letters in black, and then took photos of those pages (I hope you don't mind.) I took photos of the actual markers so you could see them too.
Mystery 1: Who is Georgia Wood? Mystery 2: Who is Edward A. Poliak?
Solved: Georgia is actually Georgina and Dix's youngest Daughter, born in 1912. Her name is actually Georgina Harriet Rowland. On her marker, she is named: Georgina Rowland-Wilson=Wood. And, APPARENTLY there were other marriages in between. Her 1st Husband, John Laurence Wilson, died young, in 1940. (the monument mentioned above MAY be people related to John Laurence Wilson). Husband #2 was THE Dr. Edward Albert Poliak. He was a dentist and they married in 1945 (copy of marriage record obtained). Georgina and Dix's eldest Daughter (and the younger Georgina's Sister), Ellen Rowland-Pennell and HER Husband, Maynard, were witnesses at the wedding. Edward died in 1967 and then Georgina married Sidney Lester Nelson in 1973 (copy of marriage record obtained). Then at some point she married Mr. Wood (not sure of his first name).
Georgina Rowland-Wilson and John Laurence Wilson had a Son, John Rowland Wilson, who may still be alive. | | | Chad Eugene Schneider
 | Clulow Georgina's Mother was Nellie Daly-Clulow and her Father was James Clulow. James was a Methodist Preacher. There are some Daly's mentioned as living with them in the 1885 Otley, Marion County, Iowa Census. Georgina was born in December 1881 in Ireland along with her Parents and immigrated to the US in about 1883. Including Georgina, there are 5 children of James and Nellie's as living in 1900: 4 shown as living in the 1900 Brainerd, Crow Wing County, Minnesota census: Georgina; Lillian J., IA (Sept 1886); Pearl V., IA (Nov 1888); and William M., IA (Sept 1890).
James Clulow's Parents were Joseph Clulow and Elizabeth Greenleaf. He was born Sept 1853 in Ireland and he died 11 Oct 1922 in Seattle, King County, Washington.

 | Clulow Was James Nellie's Husband?
Was the Emily mentioned the wife of William or Frank? | | | Chad Eugene Schneider
 | RE: Thanks, can you add these to your list? Hi again,
Do you know HOW the Blair's were connected to the Rowland's?
There was an S.L. Blair that was the contractor on at least 2 of Dix Rowlands' homes. And one of his homes was first owned by a Reverend James Clulow.
There are 4 Clulow obit references here:
Emily Frank Nellie and William. I think that Nellie was Dix's Mother-in-Law (Georgina C's Mother) and the other Clulow obits must have been Georgina C's siblings? | | | Chad Eugene Schneider
 | RE: Thanks, can you add these to your list? Hi Michael,
Yes, I will add those Blair's to the list as well. I really appreciate you putting the locations in there since I have a map and I can pretty much just go right to their spot.
I can probably get a plot map from the office, too.
I will be in touch.
Bye for now,
Chad | | | | [View all messages...] |
