STORM DAMAGES GRAVESTONES in DAVID'S CEMETERY
Week of July 7, 2003 Information & photo courtesy of: Ken Striker of Dayton, OH Large gravestone in background is that of C. W. Creager.
Click on his name to access his biography. [Note: Internet, 14 July 2003, E-mail to ASH: Ken Striker of Dayton, OH indicates: "The C. W. Creager [Christian William Creager] monument is the tall one at center back. It has some damaged parts laying near the base from a damaging storm that hit Montgomery Co., OH during the week of July 7, 2003. The broken stone in front resulted from a tree falling at the site. It is not a Creager stone."

MARY A. CREAGER
[perhaps Anna Mary / Mary Anna (nee Wolf) Creager
Wife of Christian Creager
CONFLICT:
It is too bad that we can't read Mary's gravestone, as there seems to be a conflict of information.
1. Burial record from Ann Wallis states: "Mary A. Volte, w/o of Christian Creager, d 15 Feb 1842, 64y 5m, 'NS' [no stone].' If there is no stone as it says in the record, then this could not be Mary A. Volte's gravestone. Also, there appears to be a conflict in the husband's name given for Mary A. Volte.
2. Christian Creager's wife is given in family records as Anna Mary Wolf. No other wife has been named.
3. Anna Mary (nee Wolf) Creager, wf/o Christian Creager, according to family records died 15 February 1842 at age 64y, which is the same date and age given in the burial record for Mary A. Volte. The gravestone is very likely for Ann Mary (nee Wolf) Creager, which was moved according to other records, but is not mentioned in the burial record above. It is said that both Christian's and Anna Mary's gravestones were moved to David's Cemetery from the Creager Farm Graveyard/Cemetery in family records. And, Mary Ann Volte, is named wife of Valentine Creager in Montgomery Co., OH Book, p. 59. [KWS]
4. Could the "NS" (no stone) recording for Mary Volte really be for a Mary, wife of Velte (Valentine) Creager, and in transcribing records, an error was made. Since Valentine died so young, perhaps his wife, Mary, married a 2nd time to a Mr. Volte. Perhaps "Volte" is a transcription misspelling/misrepresentation/misreading for Velte or Valte (both nicknames for Valentine).

Valentine Creager
Born 10 August 1804
Died 15 June 1826
22y 10m 4d [Burial record above seems to name a wife for a Valentine Creager. There is no family record that this Valentine ever married. ASH]

C. W.⁵ Creager (aka Christian Wilhelm/William⁵ Creager) s/o Casper⁴ CREAGER (Johann Christian³ Creager, Johann Casper² Krieger/Creager, Hans Ernst¹ Krieger) and Barbara Schmidt/Smith Born 1812
Died 1892 William Christian Creager, an Evangelical Lutheran Church member, married a Catholic, Susan Dolan. Susan was buried at Cavalry Cemetery in Montgomery Co., OH. Click on his name to access his biography.

[Note: Internet, 03 July 2003, E-mail to ASH: Ken Striker of Dayton, OH states: "I went over to David's Cemetery this morning and found several of the stones to match your pictures. I found the C W Creager monument. It is indeed C W (I checked at the office) [not G W]. It stands about 12' high and on the one side reads born 'Nov 22, 1812; died Nov 1 1892'. No other information there except on the other side. I also found the small unreadable stone at the base of the C W Creager monument. I had difficulty with reading the small old stone, but found the same information on the other side of the C. W. Creager monument. It reads: "George Creager died May 31, 1861 aged 5y, 5m, 13d." This would be correct as the C W Creager biography indicates he had a deceased son George."]

Reinhold tells us that this gravestone is for:
Margaret Creager and Mary Creager [Note: These must be the two daughters (both died in 1822) of "Henry and Ana Creager" given in burial listing above. Parents are given for Margaret, but not Mary. Can anyone identify which Henry Creager this is and Ana, his wife? One Henry Creager died 1816. Was he the father? Another possible father could have been this Henry Creager [believed Johann Henry Creager] (1767-1844). And...is "Ana" the Susanne/Susannah (Wolf) Creager (1770-1837), who appears as wife of Henry Creager in above burial records? There is a gravestone for Henry who died 1816, but none for Henry who died 1844. ASH]
