________________________Transcriber's notes: Full name taken from gravestone. This obituary, as published, had numerous numerical mistakes. Their arrival in Madison County cannot be 1826 and is more likely to be 1856 when they first appear in a Madison County Census. Her marriage year should be 1858 rather than 1958. The "four children" should be "nine children" of which 8 were living (as listed) at the time of her death.
