Elam Vrooman
ID # 1200, (1828-1912)
| Father | Arents Schuyler Depeyster Vrooman (1789-) |
| Mother | Mary Douglas (1792-1858) |
| Birth | Elam Vrooman was born on 5 March 1828 at Upper Canada. |
| Marriage | He married Caroline Elizabeth Main, daughter of George Main and Margaret Ann Chandler, in 1857. For the moment, we have only the barest of marriage information for Elam and Caroline. The 1861 census at Garafraxa states that they were married in 1859. To this point, no further record has been found, however an 1859 marriage is almost certainly wrong, considering that son George came along in 1858. We show a marriage year of 1857, but this is subject to change. |
| Death | He died on 21 January 1912 at Ontario Hospital, Hamilton, at age 83. |
| Burial | He was buried at Sec. 4B, Belsyde Cemetery, Fergus, Ontario. |
| Note | He Death reg. 038019-27 Hamilton, County of Wentworth Elain (Elam) Vrooman, male, Canadian, died 21 January 1912. Born 5 March 1828, Ontario. Age 83 yrs., 10 mos., 16 dys. Hospital for Insane, inmate since March 5, 09. Father Arent Vrooman, born Pennsylvania. Mother's given name not shown, but maiden name Douglas. (Arents was born in Upper Canada.) We have no direct statement, but considering his parents' presence in Beverly from shortly after the War of 1812, in all probability Elam was born in Beverly Township, Home District, Upper Canada. His family did not move to Garafraxa Township until approximately 1842. Elam is buried in Section 4B (7-3E) in Belsyde Cemetery, Fergus. His gravestone inscription reads: Vrooman / Elam Vrooman / Died Jan. 22, 1912 / In his 84th year. |
