Friday's Photo: Giddens Family Buried in Easton Cemetery - Easton, Pennsylvania

My great-grandmother, Mary Lucy Glynn Giddens (aka Lucy May) is buried under
the stone for "Mother." The stones on the left and right are family stones. 

My grandmother's family lived in Phillipsburg, New Jersey just across the Delaware River from Easton, Pennsylvania. When I was young, my grandmother, Edith Giddens Davis, talked about walking across the bridge to go to school in Easton. Several of her family members are buried in the historic Easton Cemetery. 

Easton Cemetery has been in operation since 1849 and there are over 29,000 graves. Checkout The Historic Easton Cemetery.org to see beautiful photos of this cemetery, to learn about the history, and see photos of notable residents. 

My great-grandmother, Lucy Glynn Giddens, was found as Mary L.
on the Putney, Vermont birth record. She was Lucy on her marriage
license to Charles Giddens and found as Lucy M. Giddens on all
records following their marriage in 1891. Lucy was first buried
in the Phillipsburg Cemetry and later moved to the Easton Cemetery.

This stone is to the right of Lucy M. Giddens' stone. I assume that my grandmother moved
these graves to the Easton Cemetery as well. Georgie Giddens died on July 27, 1900.
He was just a year old. John Lewis Giddens died at two-months old in June 1902. 

This stone is to the left of Lucy Giddens's stone. Florence I. Samer was the daughter of Charles and Lucy Giddens.

Warren Giddens, son of Charles and Lucy Giddens is buried in the Easton Cemetery beside
his wife Calla Male. I don't know the location of this grave in regards to his mother's grave.
Warren's obituary and a photo of his family can be found by clicking here.
