East Forks Union Cemetery August
19, 2001 At first in March 2005 and then in April and August 2010, June Howard
contributed several pictures of several tombstones and markers from this cemetery. We have linked these pictures
in the listing below. Naturally, we are much appreciative of June's efforts in this regard. She is a descendant of the Rowe,
Molyneux and Tomlinson families of Sullivan County, and is related by marriage to the Vough family. You can learn
more about these families at To quote June: June Rowe Howard Editor's Note: You can learn more about June's Molyneux branch and see more pictures of her ancestors at The Molyneux, Fleming and Whelan Families. Also, in January 2011, Lyle Rockwell filled in nine missing photos for this cemetery site, including a few listings we had not picked up before. These entries are marked with a "#" sign. Lyle makes a lot of valuable contributions to our site, and we surely appreciate his contributions. Beginning in November 2009, the Sullivan County Historical Society and Museum (SCHS&M) provided an update that includes previously unlisted interments, as well as addtional information on several of the interments that we did have. This information was extracted from current and old records in the possesssion of that organization. We have color coded those entries in crimson, and express our sincere appreciaton for this information to our colleagues at SCHS&M. Last Updated: February 2019 |

* Editor's Note: Here is the e-mail communication from Dave Carpenter that we received on August 28, 2014:
Here also is a response from Larry Pardoe that touches on several Grange family issues:
Interesting about "Lyle" name. He was apparently born as John Nelson Grange as shown in 1870 and 1880 census records, but between 1880 and 1900 he picked up the "Lyle" name as reflected in the 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 Federal censuses. (I'm "pasting" in below my notes - including my thoughts as to a possible reason why and when he picked up the "Lyle" nickname).
My notes for John Nelson "Lyle" Grange
"The Grange Family Record for the Family of John W. and Eliza (Vough) Grange" shows his name as John Nelson Lyle Grange.
I haven't been able to determine the reason why John Nelson Grange was also known as Lyle Grange, but having discovered that
his first cousin was Lyle Nelson Vough, b. May 30, 1867 and d. October 3, 1871, maybe that has a part in this mystery.
Apparently he picked up the "Lyle" name between 1880 and 1900 according to census records.
1870 Elkland Twp., Sullivan Co., PA census shows name as John Nelson, age 2, b. PA.
1880 Elkland Twp., Sullivan Co., PA census shows name as John N. Grange, age 12, b. PA.
1900 Forks Twp., Sullivan Co., PA census shows: Grange, Lisle N., head, b. 12/1867, PA., age 32, farmer & bark jobber, married 5 years.
1910 Wheaton, Milton Twp., DuPage Co., Illinois census shows: Grange, Lysel N., head, age 42, widowed, lumberman-City Lumber Co.
1920 Wheaton, Milton Twp., DuPage Co., Illinois census shows: Grange, John N. L., head, age 50, b. PA., widowed, Chief of Police - City of
Wheaton, Illinois.
1930 Assembly District #58, Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., CA census shows: Grange, Lyle M., head, age 60, b. PA., widowed.
June (Rowe) Howard genealogy sheets shows name as Lyle Nelson Grange, b. 1867, d. 1953/54.
"Grange Genealogy", by Wallace Byron Grange of Calio, ND (undated) shows name as John Nelson Lyle, b. 1867, d. 1953/54.
Shirley Grange's genealogy chart shows name as John Nelson Lyle Grange, b. 1868, d. 1954.
