Joseph Josephson Wall is buried at, Holladay Memorial Park, a private cemetery, in Holladay, Utah. His is the only Wall grave marker there. It seems there should be other Wall's buried in this area as there is quite a bit of space around Joseph's tombstone with no markers. I visited years ago and seem to remember more trees and a tall stone with his first wife's name on it. Unfortunately, I don't think I took a photo.

Click here for a link to a map showing the cemetery (B) where Joseph is buried. His grave is down in the southern point area, just before Arbor Lane curves around to the northeast. If I remember right, Memory Lane and Arbor Lane are on the outside of the fence and parallel a road inside the fence. Also shown on the map is Russell Street (A). The Osgoods (descendants of his second wife's son, Conrad) have told me that this used to be named Wall Street, the area where the Walls owned land and lived. Nearby is Hintze Circle (C), the area where Joseph's daughter, Augusta Matilda, who married Ferdinand Hintze lived. Also shown on the map is the location of the park for the Wall Family Reunion (D) on 20 Jun 2009.
This is so great, I am trying to write a book of family stories on all my grandparents and as many great grandparents as I can find stories about. What a fabulous picture! I'm Tatiana Wall Larsen ggg granddaughter of Joseph Josephson Wall through his son Joseph Josephson Wall Jr. and his wife Jensine Hendrickson. I have a cool little biography on him by his granddaughter. Some of the facts and details might not be correct, but it might be fun for the family to read anyway.
ReplyDeleteI am a gg-granddaughter of Joseph (through his daughter Matilda). I love the blog! My mom Penny and my sisters attended the reunion early this summer.
