Burial Plot | 1909 | This is the Holly family plot at the First Congregational Church, Sound Beach Avenue, Old Greenwich, CT. This is the plot of Theodore Holly, the brother of William Henry Holly, and his mother, wife and children and their spouses (about 10 stones). In 1931, Francis Spies compiled a listing of all the stones in this cemetery, and the only Holly stone listed was that of Eugene, who died young at age 30 in 1891. Therefore, I wonder if all the Holly stones of burials before 1931 were put up after 1931. Eugene's stone is showing serious wear, in contrast to the others. I checked with the church, and they sent me copies of their plot cards, and they do not record when the stones were placed. |

Note | 29 January 1913 | On 29 January 1913, in Port Chester, Westchester County, New York, Diary of Winifred L. Holly Tilley, "Aunt H. went over to Schmalings today. They divided up Aunt Susan's things. My, how quick people grab your few little treasures after you are gone." We think this may refer to Susan Holly Hennessy. Schmaling's may be a reference to a note in Uncle David's files: Clinton Schmaling Ella Wilson Schmaling Airport in Bedford I don't know what the note means, but Ella Wilson did marry John G. Schmaling. Ella's parents were Zachary P. Wilson (1851 - 1928) and Ida M. Banks. I don't know if this is any connection to Sarah Wilson, Winifred's great grandmother. I don't know why Susan Holly would be involved with the Schmalings.10 |
