The last paragraph of your article mentioned Jotham Bemis buried in
Richardson, NE. His parents were Israel and Lydia Sumner, Isreal being
the son of Jonas & Dorothy Wood.
Jothan was born in Halifax, Windham Co., VT and had a sister Asenath, and
two brothers John and Isreal. I do not have anything else on this family
but do have Jothan married 1st to Fanny Billings - son Henry and son
Sumner, Chenango Co., NY and his 2nd wife was Martha Kingsley. child- John W.,
George F., Ezra (female) Helen M., and Harrison. I followed them to Brown
Co., Walnut Creek Twp., KS and then to Richardson Co., NE. I never did find
his grave records showed he was buried in Iliff Cem. but some graves were
moved to Heim and Starr Cem. That's all I can tell you so far.
