DEATH PLACE: Email from Nancy Olive Downs-Self Subj: Re: Isabelle Warwick Date: 04/12/2000 2:46:49 PM Pacific Daylight Time From: [email protected] (Nancy Self) To: [email protected] Hi Marshall: I noted on your website that you were looking for documentation of Isabelle Warwick's death (buried in Westville Cemetery). I have visited that Westville Cemetery as that is where Eulius and Gratia Sheldon are buried as well as my grandparents, Fred and Mary Downs. I will tell you that when I visited there (probably 4 or 5 years ago) that cemetery was under the auspices of the Hawley Lincoln Funeral Home in New Haven. The grounds did not receive much attention at that time and the records even less. I do not have the address of that funeral home but I'm sure you could find it if it is still in operation. My sister and I were distressed at that whole situation. The gentleman in charge did all he could to disuade us from going there. The lots there were supposed to have prepetual care ( whatever that means). My sister insisted on return ing to the cemetery the next day so that she could take pictures of what she considered deplorable conditions -- weeds obscuring stones, gate hanging by one hinge, etc -- We found the Funeral Man there walking about the place. He apologized and said he had engaged someone to to some mowing. All this to say if you want reocrds from that cemetery -- Good Luck I would hope it could fall under the care of the other New Haven cemeteries. The Evergreen cemetery is great and have good records. Just wanted to share with you. Nancy in Ohio BIRTH & PARENTS: Family records; desc.
