I just checked, and they are all part of this Copeland family - Aunt Lukie, who is buried with her father's family in Chicago, and other Copelands, who have memorials in Calais, Maine, and in Forest Hills in Boston. (I'm not sure which of those are memorials and which represent where they are buried.)Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439150784694530343.post-67168747425939907942013-08-10T07:17:38.968-04:002013-08-10T07:17:38.968-04:00Thanks for sharing this, Elizabeth-- I LOVE Find A...Thanks for sharing this, Elizabeth-- I LOVE Find A Grave, what an ingenious resource! I wonder what genealogists did before the Internet, truly. <br /><br />And I'm surprised that someone would have a stone in one cemetery but be buried in another...

In another branch of my family, I found a 2nd great grandmother who was the last one buried in a family plot and hers is the only name not inscribed on the stone.Elizabeth Handlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529452862369140506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439150784694530343.post-37855474172197225212013-08-06T11:31:35.713-04:002013-08-06T11:31:35.713-04:00Thanks for sharing this post.

I hadn't thought about the fact that the person might be buried in another cemetery entirely. Learn something new everyday.<br /><br />For my Grandpa Geiszler, his estate was turned over to the estate. I guess no one got around to placing his death date on the stone. I took care of it when I learned of the oversight. A little closure for me, since he was my grandfather after all.Devon Noel Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05440829254298661495noreply@blogger.com
