Carmel Cemetery

CARMEL CEMETERY

Carmel Cemetery is located in Gap Mills, Monroe County, West Virginia. From Route 3 in Gap Mills, take the Zenith Road approximately one-half mile, and it sits on the left side of the road, directly between the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches.

I don't have many of these stones documented. Probably about a quarter or less, so be watching for a fully documented file later this year.

AUG. 15, 1929

Ada L. Burdette was born 15 Dec 1883 to Hugh Burdette and Annie S. Level, in the community of Organ Cave, in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. She was one of at least 12 children.

Ada married John Monroe Bean, Sr. on 04 Mar 1907 at Organ Cave, Greenbrier County. [John's first wife, Blanche Crosier, had died in 1902.] On her marriage she instantly became the mother of John's first three children from Blanche: Rita, Lama and Pauline. And they had 9 of their own children: John Jr., Emmette, Audrey, Margaret, Bill, Max, Eleanor, Eloise and Jack. Unfortunately, Pauline, Max and Eloise predeceased the couple.

Ada gave birth to Jack on 10 Aug 1929. She had not received proper prenatal care, and developed toxemia. She died 15 Aug 1929, just five days after his birth. As a result, Jack was sent to live with Ada's sister, and her husband, Isabelle and James Burton Ashley. [Jack adopted the surname Ashley when he became an adult, and is known as Jack Bean-Ashley today.]
