Luther Sebring Canadensis Cemetery, Canadensis, Pa


Luther Sebring
     I did a quick stop at the Canadensis United Methodist Cemetery over the 4th of July weekend. The cemetery located on 447, had a tree come down over the winter and they recently cleared it so I wanted to get a look around. I did a quick walkthrough, I was looking for a Reinhart family stone, which is in the back left. I also appreciate the number of good wishes for the holiday and the horn tooting.

Luther Sebring, his stone is in the front left as you enter the cemetery. He was born 11 November 1845. I think his stone is the earliest in the cemetery. His father Harrison Sebring (1824-1893) is buried near him. His mother Ann Rhodes Sebring (1832-1916) is buried in Oakland Cemetery, Mountainhome, Pa.

Luther would have been a perfect age to be drafted for the Civil War, I didn’t find his name on any of the list. He moved to Bradford County Pa in about 1877, He married Georgia Ann Henry(1860-1923) Georgia married a 2nd time to Martin Wright.   He makes his home in Grover, Canton Township where his profession is a Cooper (a maker or repairer of casks and barrel)  His first child Laura was in born in 1879 and a second Lulu in 1888.
Luther dies on 26 June 1890.
