When residents of a Southern Comfort subdivision home moved recently, they left something behind — a headstone.
Bulloch County Sheriff’s Inv. Jared Akins said efforts to contact the former tenants of the home were unsuccessful, as were Internet searches regarding the name of the woman who died in Effingham County over 119 years ago.
The headstone reads: “In loving rememberance of our mother Hannah A., wife of C. C. Beebe. Died Dec. 29, 1889, aged 39 yrs., 1 mo. & 22 days.”
Akins hopes someone will recognize the name and help locate the woman’s family so the headstone can be returned to its rightful place.
“A Google search of the names on the headstone indicated that the person died in Effingham County,” he said.
According to information from Internet Web site www.genealogy.com, Hannah A. Beebe was married t o Charles Clifford (C. C.) Beebe “before 1870” in Effingham County.
Her maiden name was Hannah A. Zipperer, and she had four children, listed as Perry Herman Beebe, Alexander E. Beebe, Sarah L. Beebe and Mrs. J. B. Kesseler.
“If anyone has information which will enable us to return the headstone to its proper place,” they can contact him at (912) 764-1789, Akins said.
