Wanless names in the Evergreen Cemetery, Colorado Springs, Colorado

Contributed by Bruce Bagnall


Alexander, born 1864, died 16 Oct 1953 (Bur w/ Ella J.)
Annie Louise, born 25 Feb 1859, died 1 Oct 1936
baby, died 15 Jun 1905
Dorothy Louise Erl, born 16 Nov 1891, died 15 Feb 1953, (Bur w/ Norman
Douglass)
Ella J., born 1871, died 14 Mar 1930 (Bur w/ Alexander A. "Alex")
Norman Douglass, born 30 Jul 1883, died 5 Oct 1939 (Bur w/ Dorothy
Louise Erl Wanless)
Virginia Hanna, born 1871, died 1932, (Bur w/ Alexander A.)

The following I believe are wife and children of Thomas Wanless (b 1839) in my database:

Mary, born 30 Jan 1838, died 30 Sep 1883
Willard T., died 23 Aug 1874 ( age 11 mos;s/o Thomas & Mary Wanless)
Walter, born 16 Jul 1875, died 9 Aug 1875, (son of Thomas & Mary
Wanless)
Mary Elinor, born 8 Aug 1872, died 18 Mar 1877, (Bur w/ Mary)
Jessie C., born 3 Oct 1876, died 28 Jul 1877, (Bur w/ Mary)
Kittie May, born 12 Mar 1882, died 22 Jul 1882, (youngest d/o Thomas &
Mary Wanless)
Mary S., born 9 Sep 1883, died 16 Dec 1883, (Bur w/ Mary)

I'm making some assumptions, but if these children are all Thomas and
Mary's then this has to be one of the saddest family stories I've seen. Six
children, the oldest lives less than five years, and the mother dies three
weeks after her last daughter is born, with the baby dying two and a half
months later.
