Corlene,
I checked the few cemeteries and about all the other county records in this library. You may have to contact the county direct. Harmon died between 1910 & 1912 in Joliet. Olive died 23 May 1913. In 1914, a Seventh Day Adventist minister was living in their home at 308 N Eastern Ave. Maybe their daughters are buried in the same cemetery. Let me know if you want any other records checked. Good luck,
LaRee

Marcia, Norman and Ray,
A cousin of mine lives in Salt Lake City and I asked her to help us learn more about your
gr grandfather, John Richard French. We have a second marriage and realize that Amy
Burlingame French did probably die in Illinois. I will also attempt to find the naturalization papers for John Richard. Enjoy!

9/1/02, Corlene Smith wrote:
This morning I called the Oakwood Cemetery in Joliet, Illinois as I had not received an answer to my letter of inquiry. A very nice young man answered the phone and I learned a lot compared to what we already knew:

Harmon R. and Olive Burlingame are buried in Lot 56, Block 20 of the Oakwood Cemetery,
Joliet, Will County, Illinois. They died in 1911 and 1913. The 1900 census shows them
living in Will County, Ill. and have had two children who were no longer living.

Amy Artesia Burlingame, born 1851, in New York married our John Richard French--only he
used the name "Richard J." at that time. They were married in Channahon Will County,
Illinois and had two sons, George, born in 1878 and Raleigh Edward born in August, 1880.
Today I learned that Amy was buried August 9, 1897 and is buried in the same lot and block
as her parents in the Oakwood Cemetery. The cemetery records say she died of cancer at
the age of 46 years, 6 months, and 14 days. I haven't done the math, but we can come very
close to the date of her birth. She is buried under the name of Mrs. Richard French.

Her sister, Lettie Lavilla (our info shows her middle name spelled "Lavinna") Burlingame
is buried in the same lot, same block. Lettie was buried December 14, 1890. This
gentleman had been in the cemetery the day some historians came through and his notes read
that Lettie Burlingame became the first woman lawyer in Will County in 1897. She died
three years later at the age of 31 years.

Two more facts: The burial lot holds six people, and four are buried in it. The lot is
bordered by a granite curbing and you step up into it. There is a monument (similar to
the Washington Monument in D.C.) erected in this lot that says Burlingame and is charcoal
gray in color.

The Mrs. Jno CARTER that was the informant showing on the Death Certificate for Olive
(Mrs. Harmon R.) Burlingame is listed as a granddaughter on the cemetery records. Did Amy
and John Richard have a daughter as well as sons George and Raleigh??? Lettie was buried
with her maiden name, so probably did not marry??? Another name on the records of one of
the four buried there is "S. B. PEASE, Joliet, Illinois". This name does not "ring a bell" with me--anyone else???

Now, where in the world is John Richard French??? Probably buried in Will County, Illinois, with his second wife, Hannah??? This helpful young man said he will do more searching of the cemetery records for John Richard (Richard J.) French and Hannah, but without a year of death he is not positive he can learn something for us.

I also believe that John Richard and Amy must have purchased land in Will County, Illinois
and went to "stock raising and peddling" as one of the old letters said.

This is a letter written by Harriet Harmon to her sister, Elvira. Mentions several relatives.
May 15, 1887
Dear Sister,
It has been some time since I received your most welcome letter. I have been waiting for one from
Uncle Benjamin. I wrote to him three weeks ago and have not got an answer yet. The first letter I
directed to Bethel, Branch Co. but as his dated at Batavia and mailed there, I sent mine to Batavia.
Yesterday, I sent one to Bethel. I feel very anxious to and want to know about Aunt Sallys and
Aunt Lucena’s children. I wrote to him asking if Calvin Carr was living and what his post office
address was. Oh, I do so want to hear from them if I knew where any of Aunt Polly Gott’s or Aunt
Olive Young’s children were, I would write. I do not know what town in Vermont Uncle
Burlingame’s folks lived.

Don’t you remember father’s finding a cousin of his once when he was at Sandusky city after fish.
It was when we lived at Mansfield by the name of John McNutt. The way he found him he was
there and someone called him McNutt. Father went to him and told him he had an Aunt Abigail
Harmon that married a man by the name of McNutt. He told father she was his mother and lived
with him. Father went home with him to see his Aunt. She was an old lady—almost 80. Then
Father and Mother went there a visiting it was in the summer of 1830. In the year of 1833, Aunt
Clark moved from Vermont to Ohio. She went to visit her.

Monday 16th
I will try to finish my letter. Yesterday Gilberts folks came home and Mr. And Mrs. MacCumber
was here a week ago. Dolly’s folks was at home. We are having very dry hot weather here. It does
not appear as though there can anything grow. Bert is fitting his corn ground he wants to plant
tomorrow. It does not look now as though we should have any wheat or grass or anything to live
on as it is so hot and dry. I am afraid fruit will all blast. We could not half clean as we wanted to
for the want of soft water.

Chester is about as he has been. I feel better than when I wrote before. I have been taking Pierces
favorite prescription. Lucy health is very poor. She has to work so hard. I am afraid Berts health
will fail. He has to work so hard and must be up so much nights.

There are three other Gott families in Pittsfield: James, 60; David, 46 ; and Charles. 24.

After finding out who Olive probably is, I noticed that Olive has a sister named Polly. I have no
information as to Polly’s spouse, but it could easily be Gott. This Polly would be a cousin to
Horatio and niece of Selah. If Horatio has a sister, Olive, I do not have her in my data base.
However, there is an Olive Burlingame who married a Stephen Young. This is a good possibility as in
the next sentence of the letter after mentioning Olive, Harriet soon mentions an Uncle Burlingame and
that would be Olive’s father. She would have been a cousin to Horatio and a niece of Selah.

May 15, 1887
Dear Sister,
It has been some time since I received your most welcome letter. I have been waiting for one from
Uncle Benjamin. I wrote to him three weeks ago and have not got an answer yet. The first letter I
directed to Bethel, Branch Co. but as his dated at Batavia and mailed there, I sent mine to Batavia.
Yesterday, I sent one to Bethel. I feel very anxious to and want to know about Aunt Sallys and
Aunt Lucena’s children. I wrote to him asking if Calvin Carr was living and what his post office
address was. Oh, I do so want to hear from them if I knew where any of Aunt Polly Gott’s or Aunt
Olive Young’s children were, I would write. I do not know what town in Vermont Uncle
Burlingame’s folks lived.

Don’t you remember father’s finding a cousin of his once when he was at Sandusky city after fish.
It was when we lived at Mansfield by the name of John McNutt. The way he found him he was
there and someone called him McNutt. Father went to him and told him he had an Aunt Abigail
Harmon that married a man by the name of McNutt. He told father she was his mother and lived
with him. Father went home with him to see his Aunt. She was an old lady—almost 80. Then
Father and Mother went there a visiting it was in the summer of 1830. In the year of 1833, Aunt
Clark moved from Vermont to Ohio. She went to visit her.

I will try to finish my letter. Yesterday Gilberts folks came home and Mr. And Mrs. MacCumber
was here a week ago. Dolly’s folks was at home. We are having very dry hot weather here. It does
not appear as though there can anything grow. Bert is fitting his corn ground he wants to plant
tomorrow. It does not look now as though we should have any wheat or grass or anything to live
on as it is so hot and dry. I am afraid fruit will all blast. We could not half clean as we wanted to
for the want of soft water.

Chester is about as he has been. I feel better than when I wrote before. I have been taking Pierces
