Hannah M (Sweet) Ackerman --
Hannah M Sweet, daughter of Levi Sweet and Esther A (Davenport) Sweet, was the first wife of William Lawson Ackerman. According to census records, she was born about 1840 in USA, NY, Niagara County. She appears as Annie M Ackerman with William L Ackerman in the 1875 New York State census. The 1880 census shows Lawson Ackerman, with wife Alice, who was born about 1857 in Ohio. This suggests that Hannah died in or between 1875 and 1880. It also suggests that she died in USA, NY, Niagara County, and probably in the Town of Wilson. Hannah has not been found in the New York Death Index, 1852-1956. There are very few deaths recorded from Wilson through the mid-1880's.
All indications are that Hannah died before 1891, the date when the oldest extant records for Greenwood Cemetery begin. Because of that, there are no official records of her burial there. There are few markers on Section C, Lot 43, and none for Hannah. However, two of Hannah's children, William E "Willie" and Frank E, were buried on Section C, Lot 43, prior to Hannah's death. It is highly probable that Hannah is also buried on this lot.
