The Search For Essex County Cemeteries
The mystery continues. Now that I know that the Guth Family (George and Katherina, nee, Gitz) are in New Jersey instead of in New York in the late 1800's, I will start searching the cemeteries now to see where they might be buried. I already tried Rosedale Cemetery, and they are not there. They were Presbyterians, so I am open to looking into Presbyterian church cemeteries. It is possible that they had property already in New York, but I don't know how likely that would be. I am collecting a list of cemetery names and addresses that are in Essex County tonight. I have a feeling that they did not live too long into the 20th century, if they even made it that far. I will update on any findings I get. My husband said that if I find them that we might be able to visit when we are on our way to Boston. Now, the key is finding them!

The "Guth Gravestone" represents also Herman Ringer (*1854 +1941) and his wife Mary Louise Guth Ringer (*1869 +1947), who was the sister of George William Guth.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are the ones : ). Mary Louise was known as 'Aunt Mary' by my dad (George Frederick), although I had never met her nor do I remember his making any references to her. She lived in a town called 'Tewksbury' which was near Califon in NJ. They probably lived on a farm. I wish I had a street address, but all I have of the name of the street was 'Vernoy',
ReplyDeleteThere is a possibility that George may have died in 1896 and was buried in Fairmount Cemetery in Newark. I emailed them and hope they will write back.
