  Email from Nancy Lea Felker Riley 5/20/2005: "I haven't been to Crown Hill Cem. but I have a lot of correspondence from them. There are a lot of my MILES ancestors buried there, along with PETERSONs and others. One thing I found out when I sent for Jefferson's burial info, Susan Buckner replied saying she couldn't find the burial stone for him, then she found out that he actually died in April 1896 and was buried in a single grave, and then in Dec of 1896 he was moved to another site, where he's buried with one of Jessie and Glen's infant son's, and Wm. H. HAMMONS, who was Molly's second husband after Jefferson died. The burial/death date on the Crown Hill site is misleading since he actually died in April. I had a hard time figuring this out until I sent for the burial information [interment] and Susan wrote back with what she found."

  From Nancy Riley: I have a death notice for Jefferson.....from the Indianapolis News, dated April 25,1896. As for his exact death date I believe it's April 25th, according to what Sue Buckner wrote on the interment request...Under Funeral notices:
 PETERSEN--I.O.O.F.-The members of Philoxenian Lodge, No.44, are requested to meet at Grand Lodge hall, Monday, April 27th, at 1o'clock p.m., to attend the funeral of Brother Jefferson M. Petersen, of 425 N.Pine St. ..R.H. HOLLYWOOD, N.G., W.F. LANDIS, Recording Secretary.
  From the Wikipedia: Apart from his redoubtable powers as a controversialist, Philoxenus deserves commemoration as a scholar, an elegant writer, and an exponent of practical Christianity. Of the chief monument of his scholarship - the Philoxenian version of the Bible - only the Gospels and certain portions of Isaiah are known to survive (see Wright, Syr. Lit. 14). It was an attempt to provide a more accurate rendering of the Septuagint than had hitherto existed in Syriac, and obtained recognition among the Non-Chalcedonians until superseded by the still more literal renderings of the Old Testamentby Paul of Telia and of the New Testament by Thomas of Harkel (both in616-617), of which the latter at least was based on the work of Philoxenus.
 There are also extant portions of commentaries on the Gospels from his pen. Of the excellence of his style and of his practical religious zeal we are able to judge from the thirteen homilies on the Christian life and character which have been edited and translated by EA Wallis Budge (London, 1894). In these he holds aloof for the most part from theological controversy, and treats in an admirable tone and spirit the themes of faith, simplicity, the fear of God, poverty, greed, abstinence and unchastity.
 The term Oriental Orthodoxy refers to the churches of EasternChristian traditions that keep the faith of only the first three ecumenical councils of the undivided Church - the First Council of Nicaea, the First Council of Constantinople and the Council of Ephesus- and rejected the dogmatic definitions of the Council of Chalcedon.Hence, these Churches are also called Old Oriental Churches.
 Philoxenus (Syriac, Aksenaya) of Mabbog (died 523), was one of the best of Syriac prose writers, and a vehement champion of the Non-Chalcedonian doctrine in the end of the 5th and beginning of the6th centuries.Council of Chalcedon, which held that Jesus has two natures ? one divine and one human, although these were inseparable and only act as one hypostasis. Philoxenus was banished to Philippopolis in Thrace, and afterwards to Gangra in Paphlagonia,where he met his death by foul play in 523.
