Belinda DeFlorian Green, I also found the death certificate on Ancestry. My guess is that she was buried on private property. I also see that Henry Cornelius was the informant. He is my 1st cousin, 3x's removed. He was married to Anna Burt, no doubt related to the Ethel Burt that is listed as the mother of Phillis. And how sad for that little girl...:(.

Right. Anna was married twice. She married Henry and then a Backus. Here is the article about her death.

That's really small....let me see if I can make it bigger. The man she was with actually killed himself not long after. They arrested him at first thinking he killed her....after they released him he too killed himself.

Hi everyone ! I'm looking at a death certificate that says place of burial is "on Dwight Creek Rd." I'm thinking that's out Andrews Settlement way ? Is there a cemetery on Dwight Creek or has the name of that road changed ?
