I visited the Thebes Historical Cemetary this summer.I believe the gravestone of Hiram is there.
I took pictures of all the Petitt gravestones.This is what I have from the pic.
Hiram K. Petitt, Sept 30. 1869, Jan 21, 1911.I am reading this from a poor pic.
I am the the great granddaughter Ozias Petitt.He was born in Thebes(I'm told).I found his family in the 1870
Alexander County census.Ozias was 2 at that time.He was raised by the George Parks family in
Belle Plaine IA.How he got there is just a tale.Any how Hiram is also listed in this 1870 census with his family.
He is the brother or cousin of my gg grandfather Lewis Abram. Lewis' family is listed in the census but Lewis is not.I have written the town of Thebes requesting records of these gravestones.They suggested that I try the courthouse in Cairo.I have not yet done this.
I also have pics of other gravestones from Thebes.Hiram K Petitt, Nov 8, 1829, died Mar 10, 1893
Caroline M. Petitt, 1834-1902
If any of this matches, please let me know.Thanks.
