So nice it posted twice!

There are a number of "time lines" floating around.  I don't know of a published work with the title: "Lizzie Borden Historic Timeline." Can you tell us why you need this kind of document?  (The use you intend to make of it might dictate which time line you need.  Some go much further back than others.)

Aha! I now see that someone is offering an item with this title on eBay.  If you should decide to bid on it, be sure to check the seller's feedback first!  (Some people have reported having negative experiences with this seller.)  Actually, there are several time lines available on the lizzieandrewborden.com site (connected to this forum).  There's also one in Len Rebello's "Lizzie Borden/Past and Present."  One or more of these may be helpful, depending on what you need.

I was hoping a timeline would give me the information on when and where the following passed away.
John Vinnicum Morse
Bridget Sullivan
Adelaide Churchill
Dr Seabury Bowen
Hosea Knowlton
Andrew J Jennings
Philip Harrington
Alice Russell

I am working on a project of entering these people onto www.findagrave.com. I have the year they passed away, but I need to know the m/d of there death and the cemetery in which they are buried in.

A timeline alone probably isn't going to give you the info you need.  Len Rebello's book (previously referenced) has some of the info, complete with pictures of the graves.  Another helpful reference is Paul Dennis Hoffman's "Yesterday in Old Fall River" (Carolina Academic Press, 2000).  The Lizzie Borden Quarterly (a periodical on the Borden case) also has a good deal of this sort of info.

Here you go Laurie:

Morse - March 1, 1912 - Hastings Cemetery, Hastings, Iowa

Sullivan - March 25, 1948 - Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Anaconda, Montana

Churchill - Feb. 16, 1926 - Oak Grove, FR

Bowen - March 3, 1918 - Oak Grove, FR

Knowlton - December 18, 1902 - Rural Cemetery, New Bedford, Mass.

Jennings - October 19, 1923 - Oak Grove, FR

P. Harrington - Oct. 28, 1893 - St. Johns Cemetery, FR

Russell - January 21, 1941 - Beech Grove Cemetery, Westport, Mass.

Hope I typed them all right.

Well, yeah, that works too!  Personally, I've had so much fun researching the Borden case that I like to give others the opportunity to do the same and make some discoveries of their own.  Besides, my motto is: "No good deed goes unpunished."

It's obvious I have too much time on my hands.

All of that came from Rebello.  I thought maybe she didn't have a copy.

I get punished for my deeds good or bad so there's no risk there. LOL

Just think of all the good exercise she could get trudging through the snow to the library!  Think of the patience she could develop waiting for the interlibrary loan to go through!  Let's face it, Harry; you're just a nicer person than I am.  (And I hope your many good deeds get rewarded, not punished.)

Incidentally, that "GraveFind" site that Laurie directed us to is a hoot.  They have posthumous reunions of, for example, the casts of favorite TV shows.  It's pretty shocking how many celebrities' bodies have apparently been evicted from their original digs or vanished entirely.

That "FindAGrave" site is fun.  I put Andrew's, Abby's and Emma's pictures up on their graves a long time ago.

It's also interesting to note how many electronic floral offerings Lizzie gets compared to the rest of the family. Kinda sad in a way.

Both E Radin and D Kent published their time-line for the murders, based on their measurement or speculation. Kent warns that nobody kept split-second time, so any differences in timing are not usable to prove guilt, or innocent.
