SQUIRE 1816-1847 , son of Joab ( a np. d.notice says bur. in Florence, Ohio). ~ Edward SQUIRE 1844-1850, son of Charles B. ~ Louisa Ella ( ROWLAND) SQUIRE 1841-1865, first wife of Wesley. [possibly bur. Cable Cemetery] ~ Ruth (SQUIRE) FRENCH 1801-1845 , dau. of Joab. [ possibly buried Wakeman Cemetery] ~ infant SQUIRE, child of Virgil and Rebecca (Peck) SQUIRE, died 1838. [(c)2011 t.a. reising-derby] SQUIRE CEMETERY The following story is from "TALE OF THE SQUIRES" by Ira A. Squire "The Old Squire Cemetery" "Great-grandmother [Mary] Squire, Joab Squire's first wife, died in 1831 in the late Winter or early Spring. The roads were almost impassable so she was buried just back of the log house on a little knoll.....Great-grandmother was the first to be buried on the Squire Plot, several cousins of Father's were also buried there. Later, Grandfather's sister Fanny [Eliza] was also buried in this cemetery. And when Great-grandfather Joab died they carried out what was supposed to be his wishes and buried him beside his first wife in the little family plot.....not long afterward, however, his second wife had the body exhumed and removed to the "Tater Hill" [Cable] Cemetery to a lot which she had provided, and then had a stone [a tall obelisk-type monument] erected there..... [Therefore] While the [tall] tombstone that still stands there [Cable Rd.] bears the names of both wives, the first wife, my own great-grandmother, still lies in the old home cemetery. Later on, two of my own brother's, Alvah (or "Allie" as we called him) and Jesse, who both died a few years before we left the old farm, were buried here. Grandmother [Fanny (French)] Squire was buried in this cemetery, but Grandfather [George] Squire, who died about a year after Grandmother, was buried in the Wakeman Cemetery. Later, Grandmother was removed from the old home cemetery and buried in Wakeman also. The Trustees of the Florence Methodist Church, to whom the title of the family burying ground was given.....either did not accept the trust or did not make any provisions for caring for the plot, and after we moved away it was sadly neglected, the fence rotted down, and the farmers encroached on it until the site could be scarcely located. Finally, about 1932, Edith Squire Minor, Erastus [Squire's] youngest daughter, had the stones re-placed and had an iron railing erected around the actual burial site." ================================================== Below data added by Findagrave The cemetery is located in Florence Township, Erie County, Ohio, and is # 2995 (Joab Squire Cemetery) in “Ohio Cemeteries 1803-2003”, compiled by the Ohio Genealogical Society.
