Ruth Elliott was born in New Brunswick, Canada to John & Ann Elliott. She married Abel Flewelling in 1856, and they had 8 children. By 1864 the family immigrated to Port Huron, Michigan. She died in 1903 and is buried in Lakeside Cemetery in Port Huron, Michigan. Her resting place is marked, but the other 3 family members buried with her are unmarked. (3rd great-grandmother)
This is one of the Flewelling resting places. There are 8 people resting here, including Sarah Sharpe (Nehemiah’s wife) and 2 vacant spots. The slabs have been washed cleaned, and it is unknown whose grave they marked or where. This resting place is in Lakeside Cemetery in Port Huron, Michigan. I felt a bit sad visiting there as it is so stark compared to the other resting places surrounding it.
