Muir Semple
June 4, 1887 -Feb 18, 1952 |
Ethel Davis Semple
Dec 15,
1889- June 17, 1951 |
| Rob Moore |
(his real-life
wife) |
We almost missed Ethel, as her grave is almost
completely covered by a small-leaf magnolia.
In the 1930 census Muir Semple has been married to Ethel for 10
years. They are 41 and 40 and no children are listed.
The Weissingers:
Of all the Little Colonel related folk, the
monument to Harry Weissinger & family is the only grave site that is
just a little more than humble. Although Harry probably played
no part on the Little Colonel stories (we can't be sure, because we
don't have a real-life match for every mentioned character in the
stories) he was the "Old Colonel's" real-life brother. It was
at Harry's home near 4th & Oak St. in "Old
Louisville" that the Old Colonel's funeral began. In the
picture above, Muir Semple's ("Rob Moore's") grave is just up
the hill behind the right side of the monument. The four
graves in front of the monument are as follows, left to right:
| Blanche Weissinger |
Harry Weissinger |
Isabella Muir Weissinger |
In Memoriam
Judge Muir Weissinger |
| 1868-1881 |
1843-1915 |
1846-1920 |
January 28
1870 -
August 1, 1952 |
The Muir family are the "Moore's" in the
stories, and thus everyone here is at least related in some way to
the Little Colonel characters.
This whole area is full of Weissingers and Semples. We'll
let you know if we find connections among any more of them to the Little Colonel
stories.
