Notes for Arthur Chandler Bemis:
My g-grandfather Arthur Chandler Bemis (695) married my g-grandmother Emma Jane MacGonell on Dec. 25, 1894, after the death of his first wife. He had several children by this marriage which we have no information on other than my own grandfather, Chandler A. Bemis, who was born in Revere, April 19, 1900 and died Dec 1961. He is buried at Puritan Lawn Memorial Park in Peabody, Mass., (978 - 535 - 3660) with his wife Isabel Goldie (Steele) Bemis (Lot H-115). His parents Arthur and Emma Jane, and an infant grandson Gordon Ritchie are also buried there (Lot J-835). I stumbled upon a third Bemis buried there by the name of Clarence his wife is Agnes (Lot T). His last known next of kin was recorded as Clarence Jr., Monument Road, Orleans, Mass. 02653. I am currently a Roman Catholic Seminarian student in Boston, Massachusetts and have not had much time to do research. I do enjoy reading the newsletters and correspondences from other Bemis descendants. I can send along a much more detailed line of Chandler A. Bemis if you wish. I hope this is helpful and not filled with too much erroneous data. Sincerely - [BILL FOTINO, bifo65@gis.net ]
