General Notes: Obituary Notice from the "New York Herald," Tues., August 13, 1844, vol. X, no. 22:
"On the 12th instant, after a lingering illness, Adeline A. Bookhout, eldest daughter of John & Eliza Bookhout, aged 23 yrs, 4 mos., and 12 days. The friends and relatives of the family are requested to attend her funeral this (Tuesday) afternoon, at 4 o'clock, from her late residence, No. 33 Mulberry St."
Extrapolating from this obituary, Adeline was likely born on March 31, 1821.
Adeline's death is also recorded in the Manhattan Death Register, 1795-1865, v. 14 as follows:
"Date of Decease: 1844 Aug. 12, Name: Bookhout, Adeline, Residence: 33 Mulberry, Age: 23 yrs 4 mos., Place of Nationality: NY, Disease: Consumption, Cemetery: Brick Ch., Sexton: J.S. Hunt [or Hart?]"
Adeline was originally buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery, located on E. Houston St., between Chrystie and Forsyth Streets, in Manhattan but was removed and reinterred in Cypress Hills Cemetery, Brooklyn, NY on Nov. 22, 1865. The Manhattan Cemetery was utilized by the First Presbyterian Church, the Brick Church and Rutgers Street Church for burial purposes. But, like many burials grounds in NY City, interments were banned after 1851, and the property became valuable for other purposes. Thus, the Presbyterian Cemetery property was sold in 1865.
The following is from "Gravestone Inscriptions from the Burial Grounds of the Brick Presbyterian Church" as appeared in the NYGBR, vol. 60, 1929, p. 8:
"The Brick Presbyterian Church was located on Beekman Street, between Park Row and Nassau Street, from 1768 to 1856. Surrounding it was a burial ground, where many members of the church were interred. When the property was sold, in 1856, the bodies and the gravestones were taken to Church Hill in Evergreen Cemetery; except such as were claimed by members of the family.
The Brick Church had also another graveyard on the corner of East Houston and Chrystie Streets. This was sold in 1865, and the bodies and stones from this yard were also taken to Evergreen Cemetery."
Adeline's mother, Eliza Bookhout, purchased Lot 149, Section 4 in Cypress Hills on June 26, 1865 and moved Adeline, her Aunt, Adeline Bookhout and Eliza's mother, Elizabeth Muston, all to the new location in November 1865.
