April 10, 2008- WoW. I opened my mail box and amoung the bills and junk was an envelope from the North Carolina Vitals Office. Months ago I mailed an application for the death certificate of my great grandmother, Belva Cooper Stines. I have a lot of information on Belva- but missing... is where she is buried. Belva Cooper Stines and her family is from Eastern Kentucky. Her husband, John Stines is from North Carolina. A period of John & Belva's relationship, they lived in Marshall, North Carolina. My search continues as I read the death certificate. Both parents names correct, birth date and death date are correct... but again, where is Belva buried. Line 17 reads, INFORMANT: JW Cooper, her father. of what looks like Glo, KY. I googled such a location and sure as shit (smiles) there is a Glo Kentucky. Located in Floyd County. Belva's father, John William Cooper died in Floyd County. Before I actually realized that Glo looked like Glo, it took me about thirty minutes of reviewing it before I had the thought that it could be a G in Glo. I couldn't make out the faded, copied- dated document. So again, my search continues for the burial place of my great Grandmother. We now have the clue that she's buried in the small community of Glo, Floyd Co., KY (Glo was a booming coal town in the early 1900's). It motivates me ten times to know we've gotten this far. My next step will be to take another trip to Eastern Kentucky with my genealogy search buddy, my mom. I can't find much information about the unincorporated area of Glo on the internet except that it's located near Wayland. Also a small unincorporated area in Floyd County. My Granny, Ruby P. Stines (married a Colegrove) was only 8 years old when her mother, Belva died. Line 1 on the death certificate reads place of death being Asheville, Buncombe County, North Carolina. It also states that she was in the Gardner's Hospital when she passed. It is always said amoung Ruby's children that Belva died of some type self inflicted abortion. Quickly thinking and moving my eyes around on the death certificate to find... line 22. The date of death (17 Dec 1930) along with times and principal cause(s) of death. Listed where the following. Abortion (with unknown date of enset), Cinsytrama (SIC)(DOE- 12/7/30) & Pulmonary Metastasis (DOE- 12/14/30). Name of operation: Curettement on December 13, 1930. The second listed, cinsytrama (SIC) I am unsure of. I cannot quit make out all the letters. It could possibly be cinsytoma? (Note: DOE: Date of enset, referring to principal causes of death.) (SIC= Possible Spelling In-Correct) Pulmonary metastases are common and most frequently occur with tumors that have rich systemic venous drainage. Examples of such metastases include renal cancers, bone sarcomas, choriocarcinomas, melanomas, testicular teratomas, and thyroid carcinomas. Most pulmonary metastases arise from common tumors, such as breast, colorectal, prostate, bronchial, head-and-neck, and renal cancers. The detection of pulmonary metastases is crucial in the treatment of patients with cancer. Metastases is plural for metastasis. Curettement - surgery to remove tissue or growths from a bodily cavity (as the uterus) by scraping with a curette. - a method of induced abortion; prior to the 14th week of gestation the embryo and placenta are removed by applying suction to the dilated cervix. I NEED YOUR HELP: Anyone who may stumble upon this story, and knows information about Belva Cooper and the cemetery she is buried in, please contact me! Thanks for reading.
