Note: f Gaines, Orleans Co., New York shows:
Phillips, Sarah C., d. Feb. 10, 1841, aged 11 yr - 4 mo - 10 dys old, Dau. of Lyman H. Phillips & Celestia
(The year has been mistranscribed as 1811, and was apparently difficult to read.)
A monument inscription at Rienze Cemetery in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin reads:
Sarah C. Phillips, daughter of L. H. & C. W. Phillips, d. 10 Feb. 1841, aged 11 years.
The Lyman H. Phillips family was living in or near Gaines in 1841, and so it is presumable that Susan C. died and was buried there. So why does she show up in Wisconsin? It is possible that her body was exhumed and reinterred. However, I think it is more likely that she was not reinterred in Wisconsin, but rather was simply memorialized with her family--especially given the fact that there is apparenly one single monument in Reinzi Cemetery with several inscriptions for all the Phillips and Coleman relation.
