Her tombstone is located in Block 39 in Sandusky's Oakland Cemetery.

Fall at Perkins Cemetery in Erie County, Ohio

Many of my ancestors from my mother's Parker, House, and Taylor lines are buried here at Perkins Cemetery, along with their neighbors and friends. The leaves are just starting to change colors here in North Central Ohio.

Red berries are vibrant on the tree adjacent to the House monument, where lie the remains of Julius House, his first wife Percy, his second wife Mehitable, and his daughter Harriet.



















An angel is found at the entrance to the Perkins Cemetery, as well as a marker which provides historical information about the cemetery.
