| NOTES: This cemetery is located on the Ester Miller Farm. All graves are unmarked | ||||
| There are military headstones that were placed on the graves of Samuel A King & his son | ||||
| James Washington King, however at this time I am not satisfied that these stones are the | ||||
| Correct. Candide Durand was the natural born son of Simon Duran & Sarah Lovelady | ||||
| LaPlant. Sarah was my great great great grandmother, her son, John M LaPlant was my | ||||
| great great grandfather. A court document filed in Madison County 15 Feb. 1889 shows | ||||
| that Simon legally adopted Candide as his natural son & heir. Candide was murdered | ||||
| while logging at Cascade in Wayne Co. He worked in Thirty Three Hollow. The | ||||
| Foreman was Edward Weekley, father-in-law of the late; Mae Miller Weekley . He was | ||||
| found dead in the living quarters of the crew which was located next to the railroad right | ||||
| of way that they used to truck the logs out to the mill. Candide was poisoned by two | ||||
| Madison County men who were well known to him, one of these men later married his | ||||
| widow. The names of the men are known to me. Edward Weekley knew who they were | ||||
| as did Charles Reed. My Aunt, Clara Firebaugh LaPlant & her brother Dewey, both | ||||
| verified a similar story to me. Candide’s body was brought back to Madison County by | ||||
| team & wagon. When Simon saw the dead body of his son his cries of grief & rage were | ||||
| heard throughout the hollows of French Mills. Simon almost lost his mind over this. It is | ||||
| interesting to note he was also murdered in 1917. | ||||
