NOTES: This cemetery is located on the Ester Miller Farm. All graves are unmarked
There are military headstones that were placed on the graves of Samuel A King & his son James Washington King, however at this time I am not satisfied that these stones are Correct.
Candide Durand was the natural born son of Simon Duran & Sarah Lovelady LaPlant. Sarah was my great great great grandmother, her son, John M LaPlant was my great great grandfather. A court document filed in Madison County 15 Feb. 1889 shows that Simon legally adopted Candide as his natural son & heir. Candide was murdered while logging at Cascade in Wayne Co. He worked in Thirty Three Hollow. The Foreman was Edward Weekley, father-in-law of the late; Mae Miller Weekley. He was found dead in the living quarters of the crew which was located next to the railroad right of way that they used to truck the logs out to the mill. Candide was poisoned by two Madison County men who were well known to him, one of these men later married his widow. The names of the men are known to me. Edward Weekley knew who they were as did Charles Reed. My Aunt, Clara Firebaugh LaPlant & her brother Dewey, both verified a similar story to me. Candide’s body was brought back to Madison County by team & wagon. When Simon saw the dead body of his son his cries of grief & rage were heard throughout the hollows of French Mills. Simon almost lost his mind over this. It is interesting to note he was also murdered in 1917.
