Today's Walk Through the Tombstones is at Mount Carmel Cemetery in Stinesville, Monroe County, Indiana.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a newer headstone erected in memory of Martin Cornman.
Born: April 3, 1798, Pennsylvania
Died: October 5, 1875
He was married to Anna Amelia Uhler Cornman (1823-1864). She is buried near him in Mount Carmel Cemetery and his shown to be his third wife.
They had at least one child:
William H. Cornman (1826-1891) - buried in Springville Cemetery, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania
There is a small metal marker with Martin's name and birth and death year on it near the newer headstone. I suppose, therefore, that his original headstone is long since gone.

He was the son of William G. Easton (1826-1894) and Delila Virginia Williams Easton (1836-1909). They are both buried in Mount Carmel Cemetery.
The inscription on her monument says,
"Gone thou art in youthful sweetness,
Time is short changeful voyage over;
Now thy beauty in completeness,
Blooms on heavens unfading shore,
What to us is life without thee,
Darkness and despair alone;
When with sighs we seek to find thee,
This tomb proclaims that thou art gone."

We now move on to the grave of Emily Emma Walker Farmer.

Her husband was John E. Farmer (1815-1877). He is buried at Mount Carmel Cemtery as well. I believe that his name is carved on the opposite side.

Died: August 1, 1846
Her parents were Oliver Mills Robertson (1752-1831) and Sarah Robertson (1755-1785). He is buried in Beech Creek Baptist Church Cemetery. A couple of interesting notes about his grave. In 2010 when the Shelby County, Kentucky, Cemetery Preservation board was cleaning up the cemetery, they did not realize that the pile of stones they were cleaning was a burial area but instead they though they were the steps to the old church that had burnt down in 1944. There is a metal sign that has been erected by family that I found very interesting. It reads,
"Oliver Mills Robertson b. 25 April 1752 VA d. 1831 KY
desc from a crusader knight, Kings Charlemagne, Wm. the Conqueror, Robert "the Bruce", and Price Henry Sinclair, discoverer of America in 1398. Cousin to 15 US Presidents, 4th cousin to Patrick Henry, Ancestor to 1,000s of
descs by 2 wives."

She had at least one other sibling:
Olevia Robertson Reddish (1803-1850) - buried in Reddish Cemetery, Parke County, Indiana.

They had the following children:
Mary Farmer Williams (1796-1867) - buried in Mount Carmel Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana.
Elizabeth Farmer Briscoe (1802-1871) - buried in Pleasant Grove Cemetery, Floyd County, Iowa.
She has a lovely willow tree carved into the top of her headstone. It symbolizes sadness or mourning.

Anna Uhler and Martin Cornman could not have had a son together named William H. Cornman as listed above unless his birth date is wrong. She would have been 3 years old when he was born. Laura Mitchell, Terre Haute, lmitch1967@ma.rr.com
Hi Laura, Thank you for the clarification. More information about his family has come to light recently and I haven't been able to get back and adjust it. William H. Cornman is Martin Cornman's son with his first or second wife. Anna is his third wife. Once again, thank you for noticing and bringing it to light. Have a nice day!
