McNAMER HILLSIDE PLOT
Checked-December 11, 1974 by H. A. Dieter. Located one and one half
mile north of Stoddard Corners on County Trunk NN. The original Fred
McNamer farm is presently owned by Earl Schulze and lies in section 19,
Town of Willow. The two children buried here on this hillside
area were those of Milton and Nettie Hazelton McNamer. One lone
gravestone remains loose and lying face down against a large pine tree.
The location is almost inaccessible and would require a great amount of
work and expense to isolate and mark it for future reference. Data
gathered with the kind help of Mrs. Freda McNamer of Ithaca shows
recorded evidence of the father Milton having been born in Lewis
County, West Virginia in 1846. His death occurred January 1,
1931. The mother lived in Whittlesey, Taylor County, Wisconsin at the
time of her death (prior to her husband's). One daughter lived to
maturity - name is not obtainable at this time. She operated a
telephone switchboard in LaValle for many years.
