Anita Brawlay adds: Anna Eliza (DeCamp) Rathbun was born 25 Dec. 1854, and married Benjamin Franklin Rathbun on 6 Aug. 1871 in Manhatten, New York, New York. Anna was 18 and Benjamin was 25. Anna was Benjamin's first wife and mother to his five children: Benjamin Marion #79787433; Emma J.; Julia B.; Minnie; and Anna, born June 3, 1882. At the time of Anna's death the ages of her children were: Anna was just born, Minnie was about two, Julia was about five, Emma was about seven, and Benjamin was nine.
Anna's husband, Benjamin Franklin Rathbun, 1846-1924, was born in Erie County, New York, to Benjamin Franklin Rathbun, 1810-1889, and Christiana Bennett, 1818-1891. According to census records Anna was born in New York. Anna's widowed husband did not marry again until about 1893, and is found in the 1920 Fed. Census for Elk, Price, Wisconsin, living with his daughter Emma J. Wilmot (first married to Mr. Martin).
An 1880 census has the family in Union, Broome, New York with Benjamin F. age 33; Anna E. 25; Benjamin M. 7; Erma J. 5; Julia B. 3; and Minnie 0.
Benjamin was a carpenter, and it is likely the family moved to Lead City because of the carpentry work that was in great demand at the time.
Anna Eliza DeCamp Rathbun was my 2nd Great Grandmother and her son Benjamin was my 1st Great Grandfather.
I am very grateful to find her burial place and photo of her stone. Thank you very, very much."
