Bayard Weldon Sterling (10 Sep 1891-14 Oct 1892) 3. Meta Sterling (30 Sep 1894-17 Aug 1983) m. Arthur William Lankford Sometime after Meta's birth, Hattie passed away. On 20 Jul 1898 at Somerset County, Maryland, Oscar C. Sterling, a 46 year old widower, married Venie E. Newman, a 33 year old widow. In the 1900 US census for Lawsonia Village, Oscar was listed as a widowed 43 year old oysterman, born Mar 1857, head of household #245/246. His daughter Meta Sterling was listed in the household of his 1st wife's sister, Mary Bradshaw Barnes at Westover, Maryland in 1900. Oscar passed away at his home in Lawsonia on 24 Nov 1910, aged 59 years. The cause of death was tuberculosis. He had been ill for ten years. His nephew Carroll Sterling reported his death. (Source: MD Death Certificate) In this plot where the children's monument is located, there are five graves with four footstones and two very old brick sarcophagi. This is likely the burial place of Oscar, Hattie and their two young children, and perhaps Venie, Oscar's second wife.
