Note: Maiden name was SAUNDERS.

Note: There is supposed to be a headstone for Mary Alice WRIGHT in her plot, but this contributor has not been able to locate it yet. The plot is in the public ground rows (Row 8 Sp. 33) of Evergreen Cemetery and there are many unmarked graves, and headstones have been lost over the years. Will still try to locate it if possible.
