d. Friday, July 14th, Susan PURDY d/o late Samuel PURDY, 85th year. Funeral Monday 3 p.m. from her residence 174 King St. (east), St. John.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Buried with her family at Fernhill Cemetery at VIO-10-361-U. The lots were owned by Jane Purdy. The funeral home was N.W. Brenan & Son. Mrs. Jane Purdy who died on 8 April 1855 at the age of 84 years old in lot 2, Phoebe Purdy who died at the age of 82 years old in lot 3, Sarah Purdy who died at the age of 84 years old in lot 4, Miss Mary Purdy who died 20 June 1871 at the age of 81 years old in lot 5, and Miss Mary A. Hennigar who died on 15 September 1933 at the age of 94 years 9 months old in lot 1.
No grave marker is present. Notation on chart at Fern Hill states it fell down in 1940. This was confirmed by Nanci Graves 15 Aug 2007.
****According to the records at Fern Hill, it is a Sarah that is buried here. I firmly believe it is Susan that was buried there, as the date of Susan's death, according to the above record, was three days earlier. I found it odd that Sarah would be buried as a Purdy, when she was married.
