Burial(11):
Louisa Baumgardner lies in an unmarked grave, probably beside her husband
John, in the old Barboursville Town Cemetery in Barboursville, Cabell Co.,
WV. There are several unmarked graves in a row located only a few
feet from the marked grave of Hal Baumgardner, who was a grandson. It is
my belief that these are the unknown burial places of John Baumgardner,
Louisa Baumgardner, and Charles Albert Baumgardner. Other family member
buried in this cemetery may also be located there as more than three unmarked
graves are in this row. -Candie Freeman, added Dec 17, 1999.

CABELL RECORD OBITUARY on Genconnect Deaths
J. B. Baumgardner, familiarly called "Fatty," the venerable hotel-keeper
of Barboursville, died last Friday evening and the remains were interred
Sunday, an immense concourse of people following the remains to their last
resting place. Mr. Baumgardner was about seventy-five years of age, and
came to this region from Wythe county, Virginia. He was in good circumstances
at one time and was one of the most liberal hearted men. He was a witty
old gentleman and always had a good word and a joke for his visitors. During
the war he acted as sheriff of the county and served some time in the Federal
army. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn his loss. Rev. John Martin
came down from East Bank to deliver the funeral sermon. Mr. Baumgardner
will be greatly missed at the ex-county seat, where he had been a prominent
figure for half a century.
