Person:Anna Frantz (45)

Was paralyzed for 16 years before her death.

Info on the Bear Creek Cemetery: A couple of hundred yards north of highway 35 on Union Road. The cemetery is located on both the east and west sides of the highway. Turn to go west to the part of the cemetery that is down the hill. Drive along a gravel path with graves on each side, lined by tall trees, and continue on down the path to the very bottom of the cemetery, staying to the left. At the very bottom of the hill the gravel road curves to the right and makes a u-turn to go back up the hill. When you get to the bottom at the right turn, just stop there and look to the left. See a small portion of the cemetery to the left with headstones for Wallace and others; to the right see the main part of the cemetery going back up the hill wit hheadstones for Beachley, Oliver, Keller and Others. Stop there and park. When standing at the edge of the gravel path look for 2 Bowman headstones: the one on the left is for Daniel and Eliza M. Bowman and the one on the right is for Cora and Chester H. Bowman. Walk between them straight down the hill towards the bottom/back of the cemetery. Walk 2/3 of theway towards the back. See off to the right, about 40 feet to the right, a tall evergreen tree. In tht row just to your right see a pedimnment with broken off headstone. Just to the righto f that towards the tree see 2 headstones, one leaning against the other. The one facing to the west is the one for Anna Urmey. Abraham is nearby in the same row, two or three to the north of hers.

Now stand facing west at Anna's grave. Look towards the back of the cemetery. See 30-40' ahead and slightly to the left a headstone for John Urmey, the half brother of Abraham.
