"Samuel Charles Stowe born at Walnut Hills, Ohio, 19 January 1848 1 1/2 o'clock Wednesday."
COD: Cholera Epidemic of 1849-51. A total number of 5,969 people died in the Cincinnati, Ohio area.
___________________________
Originally Charley was buried in the Lane Seminary Cemetery several hundred yards due east of his grandfather (Lyman Beecher’s) house, what is now the Harriet Beecher Stowe House historic site. However, in 1878, that cemetery was deemed unsafe and the bodies were moved to Spring Grove Cemetery.
The Lane Seminary plot people were moved en masse to Section 14, Lot AA.
If you look for burial records of Calvin Stowe’s first wife, Eliza Stowe, or Lyman Beecher’s second wife, Harriet Porter Beecher – they are listed in that area. There is no direct record of Charley. We assume that his casket was moved at the same time and to the same location, but Spring Grove does not have a separate record for him.

Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote the following letter to her husband two days after Charley died:
"July 26, Mr dear Husband, At last it is over and our dear little one is gone from us. He is now among the blessed. My Charley, my beautiful, loving, gladsome baby, so loving, so sweet, so full of life and hope and strength, now lies shrouded, pale and cold, in the room below. Never was he anything to me but a comfort. He has been my pride and joy. Many a heartache has he cured for me. Many an anxious night have I held him to my bosom and felt the sorrow and loneliness pass out of me with the touch of his little warm hands. Yet I have just seen him in his death agony, looked on his imploring face when I could not help nor soothe nor do one thing, not one, to mitigate his cruel suffering, do nothing but pray in my anguish that he might die soon. I write as though there were no sorrow like my sorrow, yet there has been in this city, as in the land of Egypt, scarce a house without its dead. This heartbreak, this anguish, has been everywhere, and when it will end God alone knows."
"Samuel Charles died at Walnut Hills, July 24, 5 minutes after 5 in the morning 1849."
"I give thee to thy God, the God that gave thee, A wellspring of deep gladness to my heart! And precious as thou art, And pure as dew of Hermon, He shall have thee, My own, my beautiful, my undefiled! And thou shalt be His child."
