Generation: 1
1. John R. Sweeton was born on 17 Jan 1857 in Springwater, Livingston County, New York; died on 29 May 1899 in Sparta, Livingston County, New York; was buried in Erwin Cemetery, Springwater, Livingston County, New York. Notes:
John Sweeten died suddenly at the residence of Wm. Kuhn in this town Tuesday morning from a hemorrhage of the lungs. He was the son of the late Wm B. Sweeten and was born in the town of Springwater. His age was 42 years. He had been sick for some time and was cared for at the home of Mrs. Whitlock for some time but six weeks ago he was taken to the home of his brother William Sweeten. The day before he died he was taken over to Mr. Kuhn's to stay a few days as it was thought a change would do him good, but the end came suddenly and he died in Mrs. Kuhn's arms. He was a half brother of Benj. Sweeten of Mt. Morris. Funeral services are to be held today at Wm. Sweeten's and he will be buried on his own lot in the Irwin cemetery near Webster's Crossing.
