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.
