<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif">During
the year I have highlighted some of the burials in Klaiber Cemetery in this
series.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The cemetery has listings on
find-a-grave however the original submitter in charge of those memorial entries
is deceased and modification of his entries has been difficult.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Klaiber cemetery has more than its share of
unmarked graves or simple field stones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The use of various names of the cemetery during different time frames
has sometimes made it difficult to determine where a person was laid to rest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Kentucky Historical Society, tried to
give cemeteries throughout Kentucky a definite name during a 1970’s
project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It fell on deaf ears for locals
who, when giving information for an obituary call a family cemetery by a name that
may or may not be correct.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif">When
I became a trustee of Klaiber Cemetery almost 30 years ago I was told that a
grandchild of Inez Workman was buried at her feet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The informant said they thought it was the
child of Inez’s son Bellvard.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Extensive
research on her family shows that the grandson was in fact the son of William Robert
and Francis Holley Workman.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif">Inez
Lorenza Jordan was born 21 April 1900, the daughter of George Washington and
Mary Jane Perkins Jordan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Inez married
Lindsey Mansfield Workman 11 July 1918 in Boyd County, Kentucky when she was
seventeen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The family had three known
children: Bellvard Rothland Workman, William Robert Workman and Ethel Marie
Workman.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif">By
1930 the family had settled in Huntington, Cabell County, Kentucky where
Lindsey worked at <a href="https://towns-and-nature.blogspot.com/2022/07/huntington-wv-1922-special.html">the
Nickel Plant</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Inez had a brain hemorrhage
and died 13 October 1933.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The death
certificate was recorded in Boyd County, Kentucky with the informant her
husband giving his address as Gyandotte, West Virginia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Kilgore and Collier Funeral Home was in
charge of arrangements and according to the death certificate burial was in
Sexton Cemetery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As stated before Sexton
Cemetery should not be confused with Sexton Cemetery on Pigeon Roost, this
county.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sexton was an aka for Klaiber
Cemetery located on Long Branch, Garner, Boyd County, Kentucky.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Inez’
son William Robert Workman (born 22 July 1921 in Boyd County, Kentucky) married
Francis Holley 24 December 1938 in Cabell County, West Virginia. On 4 Feb 1941 the couple had a son born in
Huntington prematurely. The infant was
brought back to Garner for burial. The West Virginia Department of Health Death
Certificate states “Sexton Cemetery.”
Once again the alias was used for what is now registered as Klaiber
Cemetery with the state of Kentucky.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wishing

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As
the year winds down, so does this year’s series “Whispers from the Grave…”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These mini bio’s do not include everyone in
the cemetery but highlight many.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Most
can also be found on<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">find-a-grave</i>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hopefully these blog posts help give a little
more detail to newer researchers. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a
trustee of the cemetery for almost 30 years I have collected information on
each person in Klaiber Cemetery.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">If
you have been a reader of our mini bio’s you will notice that each person has
some tie, directly or indirectly with others in the cemetery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Beatrice is a good example.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Beatrice is the daughter of Larkin and Rebecca
Stamper Gallion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is a direct
ancestor of Thomas Sexton who changed his surname to Gallion when he moved to
Kentucky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus she is related to both
the Sexton’s and Gallion’s in the cemetery.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Beatrice
was born 3 June 1897.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She married
Everett Wooten 26 September 1914 in Boyd County at her parent’s house. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their first son, Russell Warren Wooten was
born 5 July 1915 in Boyd County, Kentucky. The family moved to Logan County,
West Virginia where they had a son James Clifford Wooten 19 June <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>1918.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He did not thrive and died, “with stomach troubles” in Shamrock, West Virginia,
27 September 1920.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His death certificate
simply states he was brought back to Kilgore, Kentucky for burial. The family
supplied a sweet grave stone in the cemetery.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEivbn5NAuKtLyOkqS6AvAewqyff0vxEaK6omHGXM-4aFZQXO_5QpEa7HgD9ItbFC0Xx0X8VwYlu4KWgoo4yGKF4QjgaOfdWZQKwG95RfrUndIdo-UX-Aeg4O7AeZNWDYAi6Ls7rYB7h1joQgVzmU-EZYWLSVAPoPg7-jHRWwB4GWlRuuS3_stippdWRl8LZ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="244" data-original-width="213" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEivbn5NAuKtLyOkqS6AvAewqyff0vxEaK6omHGXM-4aFZQXO_5QpEa7HgD9ItbFC0Xx0X8VwYlu4KWgoo4yGKF4QjgaOfdWZQKwG95RfrUndIdo-UX-Aeg4O7AeZNWDYAi6Ls7rYB7h1joQgVzmU-EZYWLSVAPoPg7-jHRWwB4GWlRuuS3_stippdWRl8LZ" width="210" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
family rented and Everett drove a truck for the coal company. He was a evangelist minister of the Pilgrim Holiness
Church and spoke at many church gatherings in Kentucky, Ohio, West Virginia and
later in Indiana where son Russell was also a minister. Everett even worked as a garbage collector
while still working hard as a coal miner to make ends meet in the 1950’s. Beatrice died 1 April 1950 from heart issues
and asthma in Logan County, West Virginia.
Her death certificate states burial was April 6<sup>th</sup> in Sexton
Cemetery. This is an alias often used by
those related to the Sexton’s for Klaiber Cemetery and should not be confused
with Sexton Cemetery just a few miles away on Pigeon Roost. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">

Sexton’s death information is a good example of “carved in stone” not always being
correct.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;">Frank was the
son of Elisha “Lige” Sexton and wife Elizabeth Hicks. He was born 3 June 1904
in Boyd County, Kentucky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He moved to
Logan County, West Virginia, when he was 21, where he married Ivy Vannatter on
21 May 1927.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first error in official
records was when the clerk recorded Frank’s father as Elias in the marriage
records. The couple had three boys: Charles Percy born 1928; Franklin born
1929; and Joseph Harrison Sexton born 1932.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;">Family told
this compiler Frank died in the mines in West Virginia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since the stone said the death date was 21
January 1935 I did a deep search of newspapers which was futile. My search
coincided with the Boyd County Library project of indexing obituaries.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As luck would have it, at the time, fellow
library worker, Nancy Schnitzker knew I was working on the Sexton surname and
would alert me when she made any new entries. Bingo! The obituary appeared in
the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ashland Daily Independent</i> one
year later!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The article posted on 26
January 1936 stated that the funeral service of Frank Sexton was held Thursday
from the Sexton resident on Garner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
newspaper stated that he was killed in a mine accident at Holden, West Virginia
but that the paper did not learn of the accident details.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;">Hoping I
could glean what reporters in Ashland could not, I began a search in West
Virginia papers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Charleston Daily Mail </i>posted Frank
Sexton’s obituary on the same date, 26 January 1936, stating that funeral
services were held Thursday and burial was at Catlettsburg, Kentucky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“He was killed instantly in a mine accident
at Whitman, Monday.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus the tombstone,
handmade much later is off by one year.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;">Both Holden
and Whitman do lay in Logan County, West Virginia. Once again I had two
conflicting bits of information. As far as I can ascertain there were three
large mining operations in Whitman and as many as twelve mining camps
containing homes and boarding houses. Holden was surrounded by mining
operations as well. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 26<sup>th</sup>
was on a Sunday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The accident according
to the Charleston paper occurred on Monday which would be January 20th. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With one last ditch effort to find out more
about the accident I finally located a one-line entry in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Charleston Daily Mail</i> on Wednesday the
22<sup>nd</sup> “Whitman. Frank Sexton 34 died beneath a slate fall.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEivIokIwggS6uOasFPQk8FuAbva3SVn7rnlUiFPuh-SaEZNqzJAN1p5wc7cZhX0ScscQAzavZ5sDIBLofviB8eYd_oKDkDGpRoi0eoGN5NW_85o6XJg8ebOmnunYXLjOvnFlo2F_lnSiKJCkMdQMdUG19GVlDamTl8DOgy_UmGG9McEUzkVAKKIx5R7ADKv" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="195" data-original-width="381" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEivIokIwggS6uOasFPQk8FuAbva3SVn7rnlUiFPuh-SaEZNqzJAN1p5wc7cZhX0ScscQAzavZ5sDIBLofviB8eYd_oKDkDGpRoi0eoGN5NW_85o6XJg8ebOmnunYXLjOvnFlo2F_lnSiKJCkMdQMdUG19GVlDamTl8DOgy_UmGG9McEUzkVAKKIx5R7ADKv" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><b><span style="color: #2a221a; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></b><p></p>deliverancefarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01674221807362954533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319429286625943996.post-85223540738927292692023-09-18T10:51:00.002-04:002023-09-18T10:54:20.494-04:00Catherine Sexton: Whispers from the Grave; Klaiber Cemetery, Boyd County, Kentucky<p> </p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="color: #2a221a; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Compiled

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;">Genealogists
always feel a pull toward particular individuals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Catherine Sexton has drawn me for years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I first started our family tree, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I asked my father-in-law what his great
grandmother’s name was. His reply was Sexton – no I said “I mean her maiden
name”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He just shrugged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My mother-in-law said she heard maybe Sutton
and wrote that in a corner of a family paper.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Was Catherine related to Elizabeth Sutton Gallion, also at rest in
Klaiber Cemetery?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;">The
biggest snafu beginning genie’s make fell in my lap.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 1850 census showed Bartlett Sexton and
another Catherine Sexton in Mark and this Catherine’s household. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 1850 does not give relationships in a
household. Like other newbie’s I assumed Mark’s parents because of age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Never assume anything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After years of deep digging (pun) Mark’s
parents turned out to be Elisha and Tabitha.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It took dna to reveal that Catherine was indeed Catherine Sexton Sexton.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span face=""Verdana",sans-serif" style="font-size: 12pt;">She
is also an amazing pioneer true Appalachian pioneer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So much so, that I wrote a book based on her
life during the worst of Covid.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am
very proud of this publication and the only reason it is classified a
“historical novel” vs. a biography is not knowing what and when she fed the
chickens.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

a project to collect and catalog cemeteries in the state of Kentucky. Evelyn Jackson was coordinator in Boyd
County. Besides “reading” stones she
collected information from family and caretakers of the family cemeteries. Among the names listed in Klaiber Cemetery is
“Flora Mayhew” with no dates. There is a
field stone in the Mayhew plot. When
John Henry Harris died in 1909 he was buried in Klaiber Cemetery close to the
Mayhew plot. The Mayhew’s did not have a
daughter Flora. But John Henry Harris
and Susan “Eva” Mayhew Harris had a daughter Flora born in December 1889. Flora was the granddaughter of William and
Mary Elizabeth Mayhew. This compiler
believes that the KHS cemetery reading may be incorrect and should read “Flora
Harris.” I believe she died between
1900 and 1910. Nola Harris wrote me in
2009 stating: “all I have…is my great – aunt Angie’s word (Mary Angeline Harris
Pelfry) and I don’t know if there is existing family bible records.

writing this compiler has not found a death record for her. She died 4 May 1924 and had been living with
another son Charlie Harris, a coal miner, in Logan County, West Virginia.</span><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

married Matilda Stephens about 1916. Tilda was also from Elliott County. Sadly,

source of income, and living off the land.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

deceased by the time they married and Nancy’s mother Martha J. had remarried to
John “Jack” Combs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Frank and Nancy
married 17 January 1906 with the written permission of her mother, Mrs. Martha
Combs, because she was only eighteen years and four days old.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Their marriage followed a miserable cold
spell for the area, though a bit warmer and damp, everyone wore heavier coats. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Julina Sexton Klaiber, William Vincent Sexton
and William’s wife, Elizabeth “Trudi” Enyart Sexton were witness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were married by J. W. Hedrick.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Many of the farmers in our area made extra money by signing leases for oil and

money when you owned the mineral rights to your property.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Frank had a lease, in Carter County, with
Kentucky Fuel Gas Corporation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These

Andrew Klaiber was the third son of John Andrew and Mary Ann McBrayer Klaiber,
born 24 September 1861 in Boyd County, Kentucky.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Nelson
never married and according to family had health issues most of his life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He resided with his parents on Long Branch,
here in Boyd County, Kentucky.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was
extremely active in community affairs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">His
tombstone includes the Masonic emblems with chains as well as initials: “S.C.G.
of M.P.S.”, and “K.G.E.” (K.G.E. is Knights of the Golden Eagle founded in 1873
for white males of good moral character free of physical and mental defect.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

a lengthy three-part article about this group in 2011. (You can read extended
information and activity of Nelson by hovering over the name then clicking to
go to the link.)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nelson Klaiber was the
Supreme Grand Counsellor in 1899. I do not think anyone thought of him, nor did
he, think he was a vigilante. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Among
our possessions is a small notebook, Nelson Klaiber is said to have hand

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="background: white; color: #2a221a; font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;">In April 1919 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The West
Virginia Methodist News </i>published an article about the Klaiber’s stating
their home had always been the home of the Methodist preacher Rev. John Martin
(no relation to compiler) who so often visited their home in their young days
would retire to a room upstairs for prayer and study and called the room the
prophets room. At the time of the article it stated that in about 1917 Mr.
Klaiber fell and dislocated his hip. The Article was submitted by Mrs. J. C.
McGlothlin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

over.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of the cemeteries, especially
