  4. [S1027] Lanark Cemetery, Sexton's records. p. 4-5. Abram E. Moffett, d. 13 Sept. 1861 of cholera infantum, age 6 mos, 6 day. Several independent sources concur that Abram died at 6 months of age. He was recorded as a 1 month old on the 1860 census, suggesting he died in 1860 not 1861. Since the Lanark Cemetery record represents a reinterment it is possible the date of death was entered wrong in the Lanark Cemetery records.
