MILFORD TIMES - 4 August 1894:
***************************
A family gathering of the Stratton family took place at Highland under rather peculiar circumstances and in a peculiar place on Monday of this week, the place being none other than the burying ground. Now family gathers in such places have often occurred, but they generally get there one by one and mutely lay side by side. But this was not exactly such a one. The gathering was composed of Mrs. Samatha Hudson and her daughter, Mrs. Cartwright of Alton, IL, Jonathan Phillips, Thomas Harrison, Jay Travis, Watson Bourns, Stanley Ruggles, the wives of the foregoing gentlemen--those who have one--and Miss Hannah Stratton, all of whom were connected with the Stratton family. The object of the gathering was to remove the bodies of four members of the family from the family burying ground on the old Stratton farm, now owned by George C. Jones, to the Stratton lot at Highland Station cemetery. This was done at the request of Mrs. Hudson, who at her own expense had erected a monument to mark their resting place. The bones were found in a good state of preservation, some having been buried sixty years, and the last ones, fifty years ago. Mrs. Hudson is a cousin of the late Joseph Stratton. When the farm was sold, Mr. Stratton reserved the burying ground, which has always been kept enclosed, and on Monday after the bodies had been removed, Mr. Jones purchased the ground. One other body lays there--one connected with the McPherson family--which will doubtless be now removed. Miss Hannah Stratton is the only person now living that carries the family name and, if she dies or gets married, the name, so far as this family is concerned, is lost forever.
