" Tobit (Tobia) 4:6.&nbsp; Was born 1726. Died A. D. Nov. 27 1791.)<br><br>Until recently there was a third legible sandstone marker in this cemetery, which is situated near the locally famous Bear-Lithia Spring just north of Elkton, Virginia on route 340.&nbsp; The third stone was much more recent than the other two, being at the same time larger, thinner and less deeply cut.&nbsp; It is now broken and weathered beyond repair.&nbsp; It used to read: "Jacob Bear departed this life May 17, 1827, aged 61 yrs. 5 mos. and 17 days."&nbsp; This Jacob Bear is known to be the son of the previously mentioned Jacob and Barbara Baer (Bear).<br><br>According to local DAR records, there was also, in years past, a small aged footstone inscribed J.B.S. in the cemetery, suggesting that in fact three generations of Jacob Baers (Bears), paternal grandfather, father, and son, had the same final resting place, despite the fact that the spelling of their name gradually evolved from the German "Baer" to the English "Bear."&nbsp; Others who are interred in this graveyard have no stones to mark their resting.</p></line></content></metadataxml> |
