It has been confirmed that Matilda Gessel Syx Clark passed in the Wylam, Alabama in 1907. Her burial site was finally located in Greenwood Cemetery in Pratt City, Alabama in February of 2013. She is buried next to her youngest son Homer Syx. According to the Probate paper work recently found, it appears she was living in Wylam at the time of her death. Not sure about son Homer. Matilda married 3 times. The first two times she married William Syx. Her third marriage was to Peter B. Clark, who was still living in Noble County, Ohio (Dexter City) at the time of his wife's passing.
On Saturday Morning, September 13, 2014, Paul Frederick Syx, his wife Cynthia Syx, Tim Irwin and I successfully repaired and resurrected the marker at Matilda and Homer's burial site in Greenwood Cemetery, to it's original stature. Although most of the pieces of the marker had been lying on the ground for an unknown length of time, only one small chip was broken out of the top flower bowl. Paul and Tim worked very hard leveling and adhering the monument together. They are both gr gr grandsons of Matilda and William Syx. Months later, after that, I came across a photo of that marker in some photos my Dad, Roy Syx had. Even though it was taken in the 1950s, (he and I had looked at the photo many years ago) he knew nothing about the photo or marker. Odd that he would not known about the burial site of his grandmother but she did pass before he was born.
