Landman Cemetery I, 34-1 Summary Report, page 13
as James H. Jr. (age 30, but still single and living with his parents), Howard (age 22), Harry C. (age 12), and Frank (age 10). Charles T. Landman was the father of Sara Landman Whitworth, according to the data in the 1930 census. That census shows that Sara is the daughter of Charles T. and Sallie Mae Landman. Charles was listed in 1930 as age 37, married in 1924. Sallie Mae was listed as age 30, and it was recorded as the first marriage for each of them.
That concludes my summary of a quick look at Sara's ancestry and connection to the Landman Cemetery on the arsenal. At least I now know that she is indeed connected to the Landman Cemetery and to several others on the arsenal. What is even more interesting to me is the number of connections to other families that settled eventually in the town of Madison. Sara seemed to be destined to leave Huntsville and come here, and I'm glad that she did. She is a superb lady that I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know, and anyone can plainly see her Virginia family roots in her personality. I think it's called "the good breeding of a truly refined Southern lady".
I am sending this message to both of you in the hopes that you will print it and get a copy to Sara, since I don't have an e-mail address for her. Of course, if you do have such an email address, then by all means just forward the message. If I have mixed up the records, perhaps Sara will let me know, but I figured it was too complicated to relate these findings over the telephone. Please contact her and let me know if there is anything further that I can do to expand the record of her family "roots".

The last will and testament of William Landman is inserted below for historical interests, along with other records that reveal the Landman interconnections with the prominent families of the area in the 1800s. For ease of reading the materials, it will generally be helpful to zoom the view to 200%.
