"Some of the stones were stolen and broken. My Dad and Mom replaced several but there may not be a stone there anymore for Mary Ann Sullivan Weddle. You'll notice that the Mary J. you saw was Mary Jane Sutton Weddle, wife of Jasper Weddle. When I was in High School (sometime in the late 40's) my parents organized a group of pioneer descendants and together they made sure that everyone who had been buried there was included in the cemetery records.... "

And as for Martha...

"... My mother passed away in 1965. She was the

first child of Samuel Martin McLean and Clara Belle Weddle, daughter of Francis Marion Weddle and Martha Sullivan."
