I'm hoping someone can help. My great-great-grandfather & his wife are buried at the Old City Cemetary in Tallhassee, but we can't find them & neither can anyone from the city (that I've talked to). Does anybody know of any records or anything that can help?? Here's some info:

"Daniel Ladd continued in business at St Marks and rebuilt some of his stores at New Port. Seven years after the Civil War ended on January 31, 1872, Daniel Ladd's wife, Elizabeth Overstreet Ladd, died after a long and debilitating illness. Ten months later suffering from a short illness, combined with a heavy heart and a broken spirit, Daniel Ladd died at his home in New Port on October 22, 1872 at the age of 55. They were both buried at the Old City Cemetery in Tallahassee."

An excerpt taken from "The Floridian" which published a tribute to Daniel Ladd described his last days at New Port.

"It is with sincere sorrow that we record the death of this good and true man. For several days he had been suffering a complication of diseases, his system seeming generally to give way, and on the morning of the 22nd instant, at his home in New Port, he quietly breathed his last."

--and the pioneering legacy of the Hamlins, the Ladds, and New Port passed into history.
