Niagara Gazette - 12/14/1937

L O C K P O R T . Dec. 14.-Holding
that seven out of eight children
should be allowed to carry out their
desires regarding the erection of
a monument and headstones for
their parents. County Judge William
A. Gold today handed down a decision
in which he granted permission
for the removal of the bodies
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Winters
from the lot of a daughter-in-law,
Mrs. Rofena Fredericks, In Royalton
Mountain Ridge cemetery, to Cold
Springs cemetery at Lockport.
A son, Neal A. winters, 430 Pros-
pect street, Lockport, petitioned the
court several months ago for per-
mission to have the bodies moved.
In the application he was joined
by a brother and five sisters, Judge
Gold said.
The application was opposed by
another son, Carl O. Winters. 31
Canton street, Tonawanda and Mrs.
Rofena Fredericks. 218 Park avenue,
Lockport. Mrs. Fredericks is
the widow of Otto Fredericks, who
was a son of Mrs. Ida Winters
Mrs. Winters died in 1929 and was
burled on a lot formerly owned by
the late Otto Fredericks tn Mountain
Ridge cemetery, town of Royalton.
When Mr. Winters died in
1933 he was buried on the same lot.
"It is apparent that a dispute
arose with reference to placing a
monument upon said lot." wrote
Judge Gold In his decision Petitioner
and the other children Joining
with him had apparently selected
a monument of a size and nature
to which said Rofena Fredericks
objected. She not only objected
to the size of the monument, but
also desired to have placed thereon
the name 'Fredericks while petitioner
and the children joining with
him desired the name 'Winters' to
be placed thereon
"As a result of these differences
some of the children purchased a
cemetery lot at the Cold Springs
cemetery and made provisions for
removing the body of their parents
to said lot. They intend to place
thereon a monument and markers
of their own choosing.
"Seven of the eight children fa-
vor the granting of this petition.
"A son, Carl C. Winters, and said
Rofena Fredericks object to the re-
moval. They claim that it was the
desire of said Charles Winters and
Ida Winters to be buried upon this
lot said Rofena Fredericks claims
that said Charles Winters, prior to
his death, had selected the type of
monument and headstones which he
desired to be placed upon said lot,
but had never purchased the same,
and that she is willing to have
placed upon said lot the type of
monument and headstones selected
by said Charles Winters."
Judge gold cited that the pro-
ceeding was brought under section
89 of the Membership Corporation
law and he pointed out that the
Court of Appeals had laid down a
rule which should govern the course
in determining an issue of this na-
ture.
"I can safely assume that said
Charles Winters and Ida winters
had expressed a desire to be buried
on said cemetery lot, inasmuch as
they owned no lot, and said Charles
Winters had his wife, Ida Winters,
buried there upon her death" point-
ed out the judge. "It would be na-
tural to believe that he intended to
be buried there himself.
"However, I feel that seven of
the eight children should be allow-
ed to carry out their desires to erect
upon said lot such monument and
headstones as they believe suitable
in memory of their father and
mother, provided the type and size
of the same meets with the approval
of the directors of the Royalton
Mountain Ridge cemetery associa-
tion.
"If said Rofena Fredericks refuses
to allow the same to be done, I
feel that the seven children should
be allowed to have the bodies of
their parents removed to Cold
Springs cemetery, where such mon-
ument and headstones can be placed
and in which event I hereby con-
sent to such removal."
Neal Winters was represented in
the action by Attorney Warner P.
Thompson of Thompson and
Thompson. Appearing for Carl
Winters and Mrs. Fredericks was
Attorney J. Carl Fogle of Fogle,
Redenkapp and Andrews.

Charles married BEWLEY, Ida Fredericka about 1878. Ida was born in Nov 1857 in Germany; died on 15 Jan 1928 in Lockport, Niagara County, NY. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
