City hall in Belleville -- records for the cemetery were burned in a fire long ago, and what they have begins in the 1940s.

Perkins, Large stone with dates and small stones (Mother & Father)
John 1839-1903
Anna Marie 1845-1940

This is John Perkins, son of Mitchell and Sarah, and his wife Anna Maria Miller, dau of Robert Miller and Mary Ann Dean. All dates agree with county records except for death of John 14 Apr 1905.


Perkins, Large stone with 2 small stones.
James H. 1835-1907
Ellis 1873-1886
Sallie 1877-1866

This is James Perkins, brother of John above, but without his wife Mary Elizabeth Dean. We do not have a death citation for her, but he is indicated a widower in 1907 death record. Ellis and Sallie (Sarah) are their two youngest known children. I assume Sallie's death to be a typo; we have death record for 1886.

Miller, Large stone with A. Lee 1879-1948 & Bessie E 1882-1960
several smaller stones on the same plot
Emma Alida d/o A & M Miller 1848-1928
Mary G. Fish w/o Abner Miller 1832-1919
Abner Miller 1823-1904
Frank Miller 1851-1928
Anna Miller 1854-1932

I have a listing for Albert/Alfred Miller b. 1832, son of John Hughes Miller and his wife Anna. His parents are buried at Martinsville Cemetery. This Abner may be the same as Albert/Alfred, given all the name confusion. Called Alfred in 1850 census. Don't recall where I got the Albert citation.
