Jonah Campbell purchased Lot 250 in Sec. 06 of Elmwood Cemetery on November 22, 1869. The cemetery deed book refers to Lot 250 as being on Maple Ridge that was later renamed Maple Avenue.
Jonah Campbell's granddaughter, Jessie Butts, age 13, who was born about 1867 in New York, is living with him in the 1880 census of Pittstown, Rensselaer County, New York.
The Force of a Crushing Blow:
Jonah Campbell, aged nearly eighty years, and employed by Herrington & Company at Valley Falls, New York, sustained a broken leg yesterday afternoon by the breaking of the coupling connecting the whiffletree with the sweep of the straw-press. When the sweep struck Mr. Campbell it threw him with great force, crushing his leg in a frightful manner. Dr. Nellis was summoned. Probably the leg will be amputated, and the chances of recovery are not good, owing to Mr. Campbell's advanced age. Mr. Adams and wife, the latter a daughter of Mr. Campbell, arrived from New York on the early morning train. [copied from the Troy Daily Times, Thursday, January 15, 1889]
According to the cemetery office, Lot 250 contains as many as 8 unmarked gravesites.
