III. C. Isabelle McAninch, and Samuel McAninch, not Ernest McAninch |
|

Some of the markers in the cemetery were very hard to read, which probably accounts for two of the errors on the original hand-written ‘short list’ [3a1]: |
|
[1] 16. Isabelle McAninch, wife of Enoch G. McAninch: |
|
|
|
Isabelle (Ridpath) McAninch, wife of Enoch George McAninch -- an eroded “Eno” could have been mis‑interpreted as “Jno”, hence John, and the erroneous statement “wife of John McAninch”, instead of the correct “wife of Enoch G. McAninch” [4a2, photo], and |
|
[1] 15. Samuel McAninch, not Ernest McAninch: |
|
|
|
Samuel McAninch – the ‘Phillips Estate’ [1] and Johnson list [2] both show “Samuel”, which is |
|
correct, and Louise McAninch could read part of the first name as “- a - - e l” in 1963 [4a5, photo] |
|
[4b, letter], and she could read the footstone “S- Mc” [4a4, photo] [4e, letter]. |
|
|
|
However, the (unknown) author of the original hand-written ‘short list’ [3a1] apparently guessed at |
|
another given name, “Ernest”, that appears to fit the same general pattern of eroded letters – first |
|
letter ‘S’ (or ‘E’?), then ‘a’ (or ‘r’?), then ‘m’ (or ‘r’n’ pair?), ‘e’ (or ‘s’?), and then ‘l’ (or ‘t’?) at |
|
the end of the name could all be very hard to differentiate on a well-worn gravestone [4a5, photo]. |
