Calvin Albert and Sara Ellen Chapman

She & Calvin were married in January of 1906. They had 1 son, Myron Rowsey (Red).
Again, Calvin became a widower.

the 'old home place' A view of the 'old home place' where most of Calvin's kids were reared. The picture is taken from Buckle Cemetery which is near Pliny, WVa. Because the family resided just out from there on Plantation Road, Buckle Cemetery is where his first 2 wives are buried. After loosing that farm he moved his family to Putnam County and started renting farm land. So when Calvin passed away, they lived on Route 35 in Putnam County. Since that is away from Pliny, he was buried in the Winfield Cemetery. When Ida, his last wife, passed on, she was buried at the Barton Chapel Cemetery, which was down on Plantation Rd, in sight of the old home place as the other 2 wives. Afterwards, Ida's kids decided that Calvin should be next to her, so they all chipped in and had him moved next to Ida at the Barton Chapel Cemetery.

Just because you didn't find the name you were looking for doesnt mean its not included in this tree somewhere. If you know any ancestors of the person you are looking for, search for them.
Still finding nothing? Perhaps you'd find something (a name that would jog your memory) in the list on this page
