Recently I came across this obituary:
Mrs. Ella J. Van Keuren died at her home at Van Keuren's Corners, in the town
of Bethel, Saturday, Nov. 30th, 1901, aged 33 years, 5 months and 20 days.
The cause of death was Addison's bronze, an acute disease of the kidneys.
Deceased was a daughter of James and Mary Margison, and was born at the
Margison homestead at Mongaup Valley, where her girlhood days were passed.
She was married to Franklin P. Van Keuren Feb. 20th, 1889. She had been in
poor health for some years, but was up and about her household duties until
about two weeks before her death. She had been a consistent member of the
Methodist church since her girlhood days, first at her native place and more
recently at White Lake. Although the sufferings which terminated her life
were intense she was sustained even to the end by a firm and unshaken trust in
God. Her husband survives her; also a daughter, Lela M., aged nine years; her
aged parents, residing at Mongaup Valley, and three brothers and four sister,
residing as follows: George M., at Mongaup Valley; William and Cyrus, at
home; Sarah, wife of Richard HALL, at the toll-gate west of Monticello; Fannie
E., at Sugar Loaf, N.Y.; Martha and Alice, at home. Funeral services were
held at her late residence Tuesday afternoon. Interment in the family
cemetery near the homestead.
Would anyone know where this homestead and/or cemetery is located, or have information on anyone mentioned?
James Margison was the brother of my GGreat Grandfather John Margison.
Any info appreciated
Ken Margison
