Coulterville Cemetery, Randolph County, Illinois

The following tombstones for John J. and Nancy F. Woodside, and two of their children, are located in the Coulterville Cemetery. The photo at the left is an overview of the section containing the four stones.





John Woodside
Born June 5, 1782
Died Dec. 29, 1855

The lower half of this stone is quite worn and hard to read, but I believe the above dates are correct.






Nancy F.
Wife of John Woodside
Born Apr. 2, 1796
Died Nov. 29, 1869








Robt. P. Woodside
Born Sep. 26, 1838
Died Jan. 31, 1864

There is a rifle at the top of the stone. At the bottom I was only able to read Co. F. However, Randolph County Cemetery Records states Co. F 10 MO Inf-CW.







Josiah K. Woodside
Born Aug. 1, 1835
Died May 30, 1898

[All census records give this son's name as Joshua K.]

Nancy F. Woodside

Born in November 1824 in Kentucky, Nancy was the 5th child of John J. and Nancy F. (Hamilton) Woodside.

Nancy married "James Moon of the City of Detroit State of Michigan" on July 13, 1858 in St. Louis County, Missouri. The marriage was performed by Philip McDonald, Justice of the Peace. Nancy and James had 3 children:

• James - born 1859 in Missouri
• Joshua H. - born December 1861 in Illinois
• William - born about 1863 in Missouri
  

Nothing more is known about the children at this time. However, Joshua apparently was married since he is listed as a widow in the 1900 U.S. Census for Iron County, Missouri.

Nancy is living with son Joshua on the 1900 Census and is listed as a widow, so her husband James died sometime after the 1880 Census but before the 1900 Census. It is not known when Nancy died; she was 75 in 1900 and probably did not live much longer than that.
