Heyns
I am searching for information regarding one of my ancestors, Harriet
Jane Owens Heyns. I believe she is the Mrs. Heyns (Heynes) buried at
the Seneca Cemetery in Lake County, Florida. She moved to the Eustis,
Grand Island area of Lake County with her husband and family (from
South Carolina) around 1900. They settled along what is now Highway
44-A and we are not sure whether or not their home was along the road a
few miles east or west of Highway 19. She was killed by a runaway horse
and buggy and we believe it happened sometime between 1910 and 1920.
The family knows she was buried in Lake County in the Eustis area. Her
husband eventually followed the remainder of the family to Pompano
Beach in Broward County, Florida. He died and is buried in the Pompano
Beach cemetery. Therefore she could be buried by herself. Last weeked I
visited the Seneca Cemetery with my parents and we found Mrs. Heynes'
grave. Do you have any ideas how we could go about researching the
grave to determine if in fact she is our grandmother? I am in the
process of researching to write a family book and would appreciate any
assistance or ideas you may have. Where are the cemetery records kept
at the county level? What newspaper publication was in operation in the
early 1900s? Thank you in advance for your help.
*NOTE: This email address is incorrect, please send corrected address.

Addie &
Fred HARDEE
I am seeking information on dates of death and burial sites of my
cousin Addie (Miller) Hardee and her husband Fred HARDEE. They were

Tavares from South New Berlin, Chenango County NY. Any information or
leads appreciated. John
Barr
BARR, Susan (Thompkins), Recently found sources places Susan Barr in
Eustis, Lake County, Florida. A letter dated 29 Sept 1895 states "Our
step mother is dead they say She died in Florida about 2 years ago."
Another source gives Eustis, Orange County, Florida. (At one time
Eustis was in Orange CO and is now in Lake CO.) The 1887 Orange County
Gazetteer & Directory places Susan Barr at Citrus Ave, nr Mary
- in the town of Eustis. Living at the same address is Lorenzo W.
Tompkins, Carpenter. Can anyone help with a death date and a location
of burial? From the letter it may be assumed that Susan Barr died about
1893. Please E-mail replies to Don Wilt edonwilt@aol.com
Maloney
My search of the SSDI reveals that a VIRGINIA MALONEY died in Lake Co.,
FL, residing in Mt. Dora, on 2/5/1997. In my research of STEVENS
descendants, I have found that Virginia Lee Stevens married a Maloney

Middlesex Co., MA, at least in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Her parents
were Joseph and Ellen Stevens. She was born in Elkins, Randolph Co.,
WV.
I would be most appreciative if anyone has any information as this
Virginia Maloney, if she has any descendants still living, what paper
would her obituary have appeared in, etc.

Hi. I am searching for information regarding the following family
members. Elizabeth S. Heyns, born 10-16-1912 in Tavares, Florida. Her
parents, William Henry Heyns and Elnora Matilda Petsch, both originally
from South Carolina and who moved to the Grand Island, Eustis, Tavares
area around 1900. William Henry's parents who were James Sparkman Heyns
and Harriet Jane Owen (or Owens) Heyns. Both of them moved with William
and Elnora to Lake County around 1900. Supposedly some of Harriet Jane
Owen's family had already settled in Lake County prior to 1900 and they
were joining them there. The only other item I am aware of is that
Harriet Jane died shortly after their move to Lake County. She was
killed in a horse and buggy accident that took place in either Eustis
or Tavares. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

that time. We have visited Howey in the Hill estate and town several
times in the last few years. We have talked at the gate with the niece

Levings C. Robinson. My father tells my that he died in Florida either
in Mount Dora or Eustis and was buried there. I have had no success
locating him in the Social Security Index or through online cemetery

appreciated.
Santo
Looking for Maria C. Santo's gravesite. b 1857, Portugal, d. 9/14/1915,
bur. 9/15/1915. She was married to Joseph E. Santo (1970-1944). They
lived in Eustis from 1911-abt1929. Mary died of TB complications and
may have been buried in a "Potter's", "paupers" or group grave due to
disease or lack of money. I have listed on the death cert that "A. M.
DeWitt" was the undertaker. There is no obituary found at this time.
Any help would be appreciated as I have searched for her name on
cemetery lists on the web with no luck and contacted the Eustis library
for any obituary or information.
Mauldin
I am trying to locate information concerning the relatives of a close
friend of mind. She says her grandfather and grandmother were Talbert
and Alice Mauldin. The only Talbert Mauldin I located in the Social
Security Death Index was born May 1, 1914, just two years before her
father, Howard C. Mauldin was born, June 26, 1912. I would imagine that
the Talbert from Monteverde, Lake, Florida was her father's brother,
and
there may have been a Talber Mauldin, Sr., her grandfather. I would
appreciate any information about Talbert Mauldin from Lake, Florida. He
died January 27, 1994 according to the Social Security records. We are
planning to get a copy of his Social Security application to learn who
his parents were, but are anxious to find out more than that about him.
