Where Was She Buried?
My latest post on the data I have collected for my 2x-great grandmother Ida had me re-examining some data (which was the point of the posts) I had collected about her . Particularly, I was focusing on her death certificate in an attempt to determine where she is buried.
The death certificate only states the place of burial as “M.E. Cemetery” and the funeral director was “C.H. McNeely”. The question in my mind is whether Ida was buried in Owen County or Monroe County.
Ida’s mother, Mary (Swafford) Gilliland is buried in Elletsville, Monroe County in the Methodist cemetery, and I believe that Ida may be buried there as well, but in an unmarked grave. Photographs of Mary's tombstone are found at FindAGrave. Also in the same cemetery is a Columbus Hale McNeely, whom I believe to be the C.H. McNeely listed on Ida's death certificate.
I reached out to the Monroe County Public Library in Bloomington and spoke to Christine at their Indiana Room (812-349-3080). She was very helpful and told me she would check into the records they might have. I was hoping that they might have records on McNeely and the funeral home.
I also placed a call to the Monroe County History Center (812-337-2517) and spoke to their genealogy library. They also told me they would do some research, and that the McNeely family was well known in the Elletsville area.
Doing some online checking, I also discovered that there is a Methodist Cemetery Association of Elletsville, located at 708 W. Vine Street. No contact phone or email was listed, so I will have to write them to see if they have any information on who is buried in the plot.
I spoke to Christine later in the day and she was able to tell me about several McNeely's, but didn't have anything definite on C.H. McNeely as a funeral director. She also did some checking on Ida, but had the same negative results that I did (ie. not found in 1900 census in Owen County).
I later received an email from the library manager at the Monroe County History Center who found an obituary for C.H. McNeely, which referenced him as an undertaker in Elletsville. They were going to check with a local expert on Elletsville and get back with me regarding the existence of any funeral home records.
Hopefully these records are out there, I just haven't turned over all the leads. The letter to the cemetery association might turn up plot information about who is buried where, etc. and solve this mystery.

LeMaster Family Picnic 2012
Received my invitation last week to the upcoming family picnic on September 8, 2012 at my folks. Looking forward to seeing cousins again.
This will be Piper's introduction to the family reunion. I need to be sure to take plenty of pictures. Dad has been working on his notebooks of information on the family history to share, and I need to be sure to collect email address and phone numbers.
Will have my Flip-Pal scanner there as well to capture any photographs that are brought. Need to also remember to get the older generations' memories of relatives who have passed on to flesh out the details of the family history.

SNGF : My Ancestral Number
Randy over at Genea-Musings has posted another Saturday Night Genealogy Fun Challenge : determining your ancestral number. The challenge asks you to take a hard look at your ahnentafel and determine how complete your family tree really is. The challenge was based on a post by Christa Cowen entitled Family History All Done : What's Your Number?
The number of ancestors doubles each generation, and by 10 generations you have 1023 ancestors. By going back through the generations and counting how many ancestors have been identified in each generation you can get an idea of the completeness of your family tree.
After 25 years of amateur research, my number is 40.96%. I do really well until the 5th generation, where I have an illegitimacy. I hold my own for another generation at 93.75 percent, but start to fall off in the 7th and 8th generations.
Pedigree collapse becomes apparent by the 9th and 10th generation, particularly on my paternal side.
All in all, a fun exercise to see just how much more there is to research.

Exploratory Data Analysis: Ida (Davis) Morris (1874-1900)
.jpg)
Ida (Davis) Morris (1874-1900) was my maternal 2nd-great grandmother. What follows is an exploratory analysis of the biographical data I've discovered about her.
1. Vital Records
1.1. Birth Certificate
Ida was born July 2, 1874 in Owen County, Indiana. I do not have a copy of her birth certificate.
1.1.1. Birth Notice in Newspaper
I have not searched contemporary newspapers at the time for a mention of Ida's birth.
1.1.2. Bible Record
I am not aware of any surviving Bible records of the Davis family. Will continue to reach out to extended family hoping that one does exist.
1.1.3. Baptismal Record
I am not aware of any baptismal record for Ida, though I do not know the church affiliation of the family.
1.1.4. Adoption Record
There is no indication that Ida was adopted.
1.2. Marriage license
Ida was married August 28, 1892 in Monroe County, Indiana to Samuel G. Hancock. I do not yet have a copy of their marriage license.
Ida was married July 19, 1900 in Owen County, Indiana to Carvie A. Morris1
1.2.1. Marriage notice in newspaper
Will need to search out mention of their marriage in local newspapers on my next research trip.
1.2.2. Anniversary notice
Neither of Ida's marriages lasted long enough to reach an anniversary milestone that would be mentioned in a local newspaper.
1.2.3. Divorce decree
I do not have a copy of Ida's divorce decree from Samuel Hancock. A letter from a correspondent states that she filed for divorce in Monroe County, Indiana during the May term of 1894, that they were married August 27, 1892 and lived together as man and wife until February 3, 1893, when Samuel abandoned her. This needs to be verified on my next research trip.
1.3. Death Certificate
Ida died August 2, 1900 in Clay Township, Owen County, Indiana3. The cause of death was listed as tuberculosis.
1.3.1. Obituary in newspaper
Have been unable to locate a mention of Ida's death in local newspapers. Will continue to research hoping to find mention.
1.3.2. Funeral home records
I will need to research the local funeral homes at the time to see if they might have a record of her funeral. The funeral director listed was C.H. McNeely on her death certificate.
1.3.3. Tombstone photograph
Ida's death certificate states that she is buried in the "M.E. cemetery", but I have not located the exact cemetery. I believe it may be the cemetery located in Elletsville, which would be in Monroe County.
2. Census Records
2.1. Federal Census Records
2.1.1. 1900 Federal Census
On June 13, 1900, Ida was enumerated at the "Door of Hope" mission in Center Township, Marion County, Indiana2, as Ida D. Hancock, inmate, age 26, widowed, born in Indiana. She was the mother of 2 children, both of whom were living and had been married 7 years. Both of her parents were born in Indiana. Her occupation was listed as doing house work. She could read and write and spoke English.
2.1.2. 1880 Federal Census
I have been unable to locate Ida in the 1880 census. She should be approximately 6 years old. Her father, James Austin Davis, was enumerated in 1880 as a resident of the Owen County home in Clay Township, Owen County, Indiana. Her mother, Mary Ellen (Swafford) Davis, was enumerated as Ellen Swafford, single, living in the household of her father, Peter Swafford in Washington Township, Owen County, Indiana. Neither Ida or her sister, Delia have been located in the 1880 census.
2.2. State Census Records
The State of Indiana conducted state census in 1853, 1857, 1871, 1877, 1883, 1889, 1901, 1913, and 1919 and 1931. These however, were merely for the purposes of determining legislative apportionment.
2.3. Agricultural Census Records
I have not yet examined these types of census records to see what information might come to light.
3. Military Records
3.1. Draft Registration
Not applicable, as Ida was female.
3.2. Pension Records
Not applicable.
3.3. Service Records
Not applicable.
4. Land Records
4.1. Deed Records
Deed records need to be thoroughly searched in Owen and Monroe Counties, Indiana to see if any mention of Ida or her husband.
4.2. Plat map / county map
County plat maps and/or townships maps will help me to understand where the household was living. The Indiana State Library has plat maps of Owen County, though they are from 1876 and 1905, slightly beyond the years of my search.
5. Supplemental Records
Supplemental records available to search for Ida include court records, will and probate records and city directories and newspapers.
A search of city directories in Indianapolis (where daughter June was born) did find a listing for an Ida Davis in 1898 that might be her:
Davis, Ida r 606 1/2 E. Wabash
Ida has been the subject of previous post, wherein I spelled out some of the difficulties and lack of information I have obtained about her rather short life.
