Hello,

I came across this unexpected occupant in a family grave -

Lillian M. Hunter - age 14 months
Buried at North Cedar Hills Cemetery (Philadelphia) on 2 August 1924.

Trying to determine who her parents may have been.

Thank you.

Thank you for the information RJ137.

It actually is now a mystery how this individual is related to my known ancestors.  The father and mother of the child, George Hunter and Lillian Bingham, have never appeared before in other records associated with my Hunter ancestors.  I have no idea if George Hunter is a cousin or not.

These are the individuals listed on the plot profile for North Cedar Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia

Section 545, Lot I - Owner Mary Hunter (purchased 27 November 1912)

Grave 1 - Robert E. Aikens (burial - 30 November 1912) - age 26 (son of Mary Hunter (nee Elliot), child of first marriage to William Eakins or Aikens)

Grave 4 - Lillian M. Hunter (burial - 2 August 1924) - age 14 months (daugher of George Hunter and Lillian Bingham) - undetermined relationship with other Hunters

Grave 3 - Mary Hunter (nee Elliot) (burial - 26 March 1927) - age 63 (owner of plot, former wife of William Eakins / Aikens, re-married Joseph Hunter)

Grave 4 - Joseph Hunter (burial - 21 May 1942) - age 71 (second husband of Mary Aikens Hunter)

Grave 3 - Elizabeth Jane Foerst (nee Aikens or Eakins) (burial - 20 October 1953) - age 65 (daughter of Mary Hunter, step-daugher of Joseph Hunter
