Family Gravestones

From Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, Ohio

Family members in my Blevins line

My great grandmother, Hester Blevins (1890-1945) Pictures of Hester as a child and adult appear on the Blevins photo page. Section A, Grave 2096	My great grandfather, Albert Blevins (1889-1963) and second wife Ada. Pictures of Albert as a child and adult appear on the Blevins photo page. Section A, Grave 1519	My great uncle, Sidney Blevins, son of Hester and Albert. Section A, Grave 548
Note of Interest: Hester and Albert’s sons Orvel and Robert, who both died as babies, are also buried at Spring Grove. Robert died at around 2 months of age on Feb. 6, 1928, of Pneumonia, and Orvel died only 6 days later at the age of 18 months, from diphtheria. Cemetery Records indicate they’re in Section 9, which is an infant and child section. After Orvel’s death, Robert was immediately disinterred and moved to share a grave with Orvel (Grave 3508.) I couldn’t find this grave and believe it may be unmarked.	Louise Blevins, Sidney’s wife Section A	Note of Interest: Albert Blevins worked as a grave digger at Spring Grove Cemetery for many years. Cemetery records indicate that, because of this, Orvel and Robert’s graves were given at no charge, as well as Albert’s grave when he died in 1963.

This page will be a long term project which will likely grow at a very slow rate, but I hope to visit more cemeteries and work on it from time to time.
