Notes

June 2009, Richard Sherman

I have several photos of the Resue (Rasue) section of the Dutch Settlement Cemetery if you want to post them.
Also according to everything I have been told my brother Everett Sherman was buried in there.
He died hours after birth and his grave was between the two pine trees on the end of the area. Fieldstone marker.
My mother pointed out the location but she was not at the burial as she was extremely ill when he was born.
I never heard her say she ever went to the grave.
My Grandmother Laura (Resue) Treadlemire shared the same information with me.
