| 10701 | note on Find a Grave: 1st Wife - Married Ruth Hedges (1722-1761)in 1742. Children: Jacob, Joseph, Abraham Jr., Isaac, Rebecca, Mary. 2nd wife after death of Ruth: Martha Roberts Wheeler(1742-1780). Children: Ruth, Hannah, Daniel, John Abraham Van Meter, son of John Van Meter and Margaret Molenaur, was born in 1721 in Somerset County, New Jersey. Abraham, true to the instincts of family, settled down as a breeder, grazier, and trader of horses and cattle and carried on extensive business relations with the settlers along the Ohio River frontiers. He established trading posts on the border and at the crossings of streams in the wilderness. In addition to the trading, he and his sons acted as guides and counsellors to the pioneers. In the days preceding the Revolution, they had become known as active, reliable frontiersmen. While engaged in these trading tours, Abraham had ample opportunity of observing the character of the country, the advantages it offered, and the inducements to purchase. As a result he was able to provide for himself and friends certain settlement rights which he located on the waters of Short creek in Ohio County and then in Virginia, now West Virginia. Abraham found it necessary, for the protection of the neighborhood, to erect a stockade on Short Creeek, near its junction with the Ohio River. This post became known in border history as Van Metre's Fort, and it became the rendezvous for the settlers during attacks by the Indians on the settlement. This fort subsequently fell into the possession of Abraham's son, Joseph Van Metre, during his father's lifetime, and then he, in turn, willed it to his son, Morgan Van Metre. This fort was situated in Richland township, now Brooke County, West Virginia, and is believed to be the first fort erected in this part of Virginia. Abraham Van Metre's loyalty and service to the Colonies during the Revolution included his participation in the defense of the border when it was infested by the British, renegade Tories, and their Indian allies. When the Virginia Convention assembled in 1776, Abraham was present and among those who signed a petition to the Congress May 18th. Abraham died in the year 1783 and was buried on his farm near Martinsburg, West Virginia. Sources: A Story of a Van Matre Family, Joseph M Van Matre, A story of a Van Matre Family.

| 10705 | Note on Find a Grave: Age 56 years. Remains removed from an unidentified location on November 9, 1908. On October 3, 1872, she married Laban T. Bremerman at the Union Methodist Episcopal Church in the District of Columbia. The marriage ended in divorce as he married Carrie MacFarlan on November 1, 1891 in Trenton, New Jersey. The Washington Post November 8, 1908 Bremerman. Suddenly on Friday, November 6, 1908 at 1309 First Street Northwest, Helen Katherine Bremerman, daughter of the late George and Sophia Rhinehart. Funeral services Monday, November 9 at 3PM at Oak Hill Chapel. (Philadelphia papers please copy.) The Evening Star Saturday, November 7, 1908 Carbon Monoxide Cause Of Tragedy Deadly Fume Given Off by Improper Combustion of Gas Experts Solve Mystery Bremerman’s Wife, Mother and Child Poisoned by It Explanation By Scientists Noxious Compound Is Formed Because of Improper Management or Old Burner Carbon monoxide, a deadly fume given off by the improper combustion of fulminating gas, is supposed to have caused the deaths yesterday of Mrs. Hebe Cutts Bremerman, thirty-four years of age, wife of Clarence L. Bremerman, stenographer at the Library of Congress; Mrs. Helen Katherine Bremerman, aged fifty-seven years, his mother and his eighteen month old baby boy, Cutts Bremerman. Dr. J. Ramsey Nevitt, coroner of the District, assisted by Professor W.W. Skinner of the Bureau of Chemistry of the Department of Agriculture, arrived at this conclusion today after an investigation of the mysterious tragedy at the Bremerman home, 1309 1st Street Northwest. Tragedy Discovered by Bremerman When Mr. Bremerman returned to his home, 1309 1st Street Northwest, late yesterday afternoon from his office in the library, he found the dead bodies of his wife, his mother and his baby boy. Horror stricken, he rushed from the house to summon medical aid. They physicians arriving, declared all were beyond help. When Dr. J. Ramsey Nevitt, the District coroner, reached the Bremerton home, he declared that the deaths of the three persons were a mystery and at once entered upon an investigation. The little flat occupied by the family is in the second story of 1309 1st Street Northwest. The rooms are small. It developed in the investigation today that all the windows and transoms were closed yesterday, giving imperfect ventilation. In the rear of a narrow hallway is the dining room, which communicates with the closet like kitchen. In the kitchen is a gas range, but it had not been lighted yesterday, it appears. Close to the range is an upright tubular gas water heater. It was from this, Dr. Nevitt and Professor Skinner believe, the deadly gas escaped into the rooms, causing the death of the occupants. In the course of the investigation today a loud explosion was made, which caused the windows of the building to rattle. Dr. Nevitt, when he reached the Bremerman apartments last evening, found the wife lying face downward just inside the small kitchen. Her mother in law lay upon her body with one of her arms protruding and extending through the door into the dining room. The baby was found lying in a crib like pen in one corner of the dining room. The pen is a patented contrivance to prevent infants from crawling promiscuously about the apartment. There were reports that one of the neighbors heard the women groaning soon after 8 o’clock yesterday morning, but from the position of the bodies it was the opinion of Detective H.H. Forteney of the Second Precinct, who was assigned to investigate the matter by Captain Sullivan, that death must have occurred suddenly after the women had proceeded from the dining room into the kitchen as they had apparently fallen to the floor immediately following their entry. Coroner Nevitt said his impression last night was that the deaths had resulted from the inhalation of some gas composition unknown to him, which had been given off by the gas water heater. He therefore called up the Department of Agriculture and requested Dr. Haywood to assign a chemist to the case to assist him in the investigation. The gas water heaters are used all over the United States, Dr. Nevitt added. I therefore regard the matter as of more than local importance. Professor Skinner gave it as his opinion that for some reason imperfect combustion, due to an old burner or improper management, had caused the formation of monoxide, a virulent poison. The formation of monoxide, he added is brought about when gas is but partly burned. Dr. Haywood’s Explanation Article continues with information about carbon monoxide. Bremerman Discovers Tragedy St. Aloysius’ bells had just chimed 6 o’clock yesterday afternoon when Bremerman reached his home, relieved from his duties at the library. He entered his apartments and gleefully called to his wife, as had been his wont. There was no response. He tiptoed past the little crib in the dining room, believing his baby boy was asleep in it. He proceeded to the kitchen intending to give his wife and mother his usually cheery welcome. Entering the kitchen softly he peered about. The sight that met his gaze froze his blood. His wife was prone upon the floor, face downward. The body of his mother lay across his wife. The distracted husband seized his wife’s hand. It was cold and clammy. He touched the face of his mother. It was also cold. Recovering partly from his daze, he glanced toward the gas heater which was connected with a water tank. There was a sort of roaring sound, but the gas jet was burning and the heater was red hot. Then he became aware of the noxious odor that pervaded the place. The thought that his wife and mother had been suffocated by illuminating gas entered his mind. He threw up some windows. He next thought of his baby boy. He started to lift the boy from the crib. The body was warm, but the child was sleeping his last sleep. Nearly Overcome Himself By this time the horrified man felt as though he, too, was being suffocated. The strange odor filled the rooms. Bremerman fled the house. Groping his way along the dark corridor, he staggered from the vestibule on to the street. The fresh air revived him. He ran to the grocery store at 1st and N Streets and summoned Dr. William A. Wells and Dr. George N. Perry. The life at least of his son, he hoped, could be saved. The physicians found the babe beyond hope of resuscitation. A report that three persons had been murdered caused a large crowd to congregate about the Bremerman home. Dr. Nevitt, the coroner, arrived about 7 o’clock. Position of Bodies Coroner Nevitt found Mrs. Hebe Cutts Bremerman, the wife, lying face downward on the kitchen floor. Her head resting on her left arm, while the right arm lay stretched out toward a door leading to a rear veranda. The woman’s body was in a position which indicated she had tried to reach this door, but was overcome. The kitchen is a small room, not more than fifteen feet long by ten wide. Bremerman’s mother had apparently been stricken while trying to lift her son’s wife from the floor. She lay upon her daughter-in-law, with arms clasped about her. A vial containing aromatic spirits of ammonia was found on a table in the kitchen. According to Bremerman, his wife kept this medicine in the bathroom on a shelf and out of reach of the baby. It was the opinion of Dr. Nevitt that when the women first felt the oppression from the poisonous fumes they applied the ammonia as restorative. It was apparent that the two women were overcome shortly after breakfast yesterday. Statement of Neighbor Emma War, who resides next door, said: I was in the kitchen of Mr. Hutchinson’s flat, next door, about 8 o’clock in the morning, when I heard moans issuing from the Bremerman home. I paid no particular attention, thinking perhaps the older woman was ill. In a short time they ceased and for the remainder of the day everything was quiet. It was learned today that Mr. Bremerman was delayed in getting home last evening because he visited the home of his friend Dr. G.B. Heinecke, 5634 Georgia Avenue, Brightwood Park. By coincidence they had discussed the narrow escape from suffocation of students of the Bliss Electrical School in the fire which destroyed the old North Takoma Hotel yesterday morning. By permission of Coroner Nevitt the three bodies were removed to Wright’s Undertaking Establishment here they were prepared for burial. | Rinehart / Rhinehart, Helen Katherine (I6648)

He married Neeltgen Jacobsdr, daughter of Jacob Peterss and Metgen Jacobsdr, at Netherlands before 1610. The first record with reference to Wolfert Gerritse appears in the Netherlands with the date 15 Dec 1611, in which "Wulphert Gerrits" signed an agreement in which he assumed the debts and property of the deceased parents of his wife"Neeltgen Jacobsdr." In 1622 he was made the blood guardian of the five minor children of his brother Willem Gerritsz Couwenhoven.

Following that service, in 1630 he returned to the Netherlands, where he entered into a contract with Kiliaen Van Rensselaer to return to the colony to manage his farms. Wolphert arrived back in the colony aboard the ship "Eendracht", where he proceeded in his duties as director for Renselaer's farms in Rensselaerwyck and Fort Orange. His contract was to run through 1636, but Gerretse requested it cancelled early so he could pursue his own interests. Rensselaer agreed, and in 1632 Gerretse was released from his contractual obligations. He leased a bouwerie in New Amsterdam and managed it until 1636, when he was granted a patent of several hundred acres on Long Island. He called his plantation "Achervelt"; later it served as the founding of the town of New Amersfoort, named after Gerretse's original home. Today the area is known as Flatlands, where the former location of his plantation is found at King's Highway and Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. In 1637, he became a Freeholder in Midwout, and again in 1641. In 1653, he was sent by the colony to the States-General in the Netherlands as a Commissioner. In 1654, Wolphert served as a Schepen of New Amsterdam, and in 1657 was made a Burgher. Gerretse died in 1662. A member of the Dutch Reformed Church, on January 17, 1605, he married Neeltje Jacobsdochter at the church in Amersfoort, Netherlands. With her he had three sons: 1) Gerrit (b. 1610-d. 1648) was a Representative at the Council of Eight in 1643; 2) Jacob (b. 1612-1670) assistant to Gov. Woulter Van Twiller, Representative at the Board of Nine in 1647, 1649–1650, sat on the Court of Arbitrators between 1649–1650, Delegate of New Netherlands to the Hague in Holland; and, 3) Pieter (b. 1614-d. 1699)-one of the first magistrates of New Netherlands, member of the Schepens Court 1653-1654, 1658–1659, 1661 and 1663, Delegate from New Amsterdam to the Convention of 1653, Lieutenant in the Esopus War, signer of the peace treaty 1664 with the Esopus Indians.

| 10723 | Note on Find a Grave: Benjamin Stout did NOT die on 10 June 1734. That is the date his will was proved in court. A person has to have died BEFORE the will is proved and recorded in the court records. His will was written 25 April 1734. That means he died sometime between the day he wrote his will (25 April 1734) and the will was proved in court (10 June 1734). How long it takes for the administrator(s) to present the will to court may be a matter of days, weeks, months, or even years. Most generally it is between a few days to a month or so. To correct in dating Benjamin's death, it should be recorded as "he died between 25 April 1734 and 10 June 1734" or more simply, "he died in 1734." | Stout, Benjamin (I6006)
