Empson Burials in the Belleville Cemetery, OGS Transcription

Thomas Empson and Elizabeth (Fenn) Empson

Elizabeth Fenn appears to have married firstly Samuel Eggleton on 13 Jun 1831 in Stibbard, England and had several children by him. Samuel dies on 11 Dec 1840 at the age of 37. A few years later Elizabeth marries Thomas Empson on 26 Mar 1848 in Stibbard and has several more children by Thomas. One of the census records shows a “blended family” having children whose surnames were both Empson and Eggleton. The death registry for Samuel’s “death year” shows that multiple Eggleton-Fenn-Empson adults and children died within a few months in that village, possibly suggesting an epidemic of some kind. Herbert Empson was indeed the son of Thomas and Elizabeth and, so far, a death record for him has not been located, although he died after civil registration had started in Ontario.

Memorial for Alvin Willard Johnson and Ralph Willard Johnson
in the Stone Church Cemetery in Sidney Township, Hastings County

Alvin Willard Johnson’s parents were William Henry Johnson and Eleanor Elizabeth (Empson) Johnson. William Henry Johnson and Eleanor Elizabeth Johnson had several children, including David John Johnson and Alvin Willard Johnson. Their grandparents were Thomas Empson and Elizabeth Fenn. Alvin Willard Johnson was buried in Grave 2 of the Fenn-Empson plot in the Stone Church Cemetery due to his “Empson relationship”, although he and his nephew, Ralph Willard Johnson, have a separate memorial stone. Ralph Willard Johnson’s parents were David John Johnson (1864-1915) and Mary (Christie) Johnson (1873-1941). Ralph Willard Johnson does not appear on the cemetery plot plan, although he is memorialized on the same tombstone as Alvin Willard Johnson. Ralph Willard Johnson was the nephew of Alvin Willard Johnson, as his Father was an older brother to Alvin Willard Johnson. Alvin Willard Johnson is buried in Grave 2 in the Fenn-Empson plot at K3 on the cemetery plot plan. Grave 1 in that plot is shown as “undesignated” on the cemetery plot plan and Ralph Willard Johnson does not show up anywhere else on the cemetery plot plan.
