Charles Holdermon

Charles Holdermon 13 years 3moths 1 day. He died 1 September 1852. His stone tells us he was the son of John & Barbara Holderman.  More than 164 years have gone by and what Charles stone has gone through it’s a miracle, that it’s still readable and intact. Charles is buried at the Michael-Walter Cemetery, Middle Smithfield twp. along River Road with in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Many of the graves were moved to Zions Lutheran Church Cemetery up the street. A better description of were Charles lays at rest is in the middle of a field amongst pickers bushes so big they would take your arm off trying to get away from them. How I feel about this… well many words come to mind but DISRESPECTFUL is the biggest. SO….since I want to keep this G rated. Let’s talk about Charles and know he is not forgotten.  I assumed his mother Barbara 1786-1867 is buried at Zions and I am going to assume his father is there also under the surname Halterman and there is a John Halterman 1776-1862 buried at Zions. A while back myself and a few others ladies from all over the USA got together and researched the Ace family. Charles mother was more than likely Barbara Ace d/o John. George Ace & Barbara Boney. I did find Halteman John, Barbary, Abraham, Crissa & Catherine Strunk in the 1850 census for Middle Smithfield Twp. Monroe co but not Charles. What happened to Charles? Do any kind of search for the year 1852 and you can find any number of illness Charles could have gotten.
