Tombstone Tuesday: Maude Eleanor Phillips Bartosch (nee. Walker 1882-1958)

We had to dig out the sod that was beginning to cover over the marker. We didn't bring any tools with us so we had to use twigs and our bare hands. I always place a stone on the corner of the marker to signal the grave has been visited. Grave is in Cedar Park Cemetery, Calumet Park, Cook County, Illinois.

Maude was my first cousin 2x-removed.

Death Notice for Maude Bartosch (1883-1958)

From the June 25, 1958 issue of the Chicago Tribune. Maude was my first cousin twice removed, and comes from an Illinois family line I desperately want to do more research on. Her father Samuel C. Walker (b. 1860) was my great-grandfather Henry M. Walker's (1864-1952) older brother.

BARTOSCH-- Maude W. Bartosch of 624 E. 103d place, suddenly, June 24, beloved wife of Joseph I; fond mother of Gladys Butterfield and the late Ralph E. Phillips; grandmother of three; sister of the late Guy T. Walker. At chapel, 214 E. 115th street. Service Friday, June 27, at 1:30 p.m. Internment Cedar Park.

Gleaned: She was survived by a married daughter (look for contemporary descendants). She was preceded in death by a son from a different marriage (so she was married before). Her brother Guy had already passed before 1958. She is buried relatively locally.
