John F. Bolerjack

Notes:

Birth:
Stone fragments retrieved from Center Hill Cemetery were pieced together, and collated with information from the Bolerjack book (see sources) to reveal that the stone is as follows: John F. BOLERJACK [fragment #5] son of H.J. & M.C. [fragment #4] BOLERJACK born Feb 16 1872 [fragment #6] died March 14, 1895 [fragment #3]

Died:
See birth memo.

Buried:
Only a portion of the gravestone of John F. BOLERJACK remains erect at Center Hill Cemetery. My father brought home the crumbled portions of two stones, which we were able to piece together to a great extent. These fragments, collated with information from the Bolerjack books result in the following reading of the stone, which I believe to be correct: John F. Bolerjack son of H. J. & M.C. BOLERJACK born Feb 16 1872 died March 14, 1895 "Over in the summerland of love."
