This is the wife of James Dover, son of Benjamin Wiley Dover, son of William and Alanthey Chambers Dover. Once your mentioned the church, I could say for certain this is my family. I've actually visited this lovely old rock church in Helicon, AL. Winston County is pretty picturesque, especially with its covered bridges.

Thanks so much Marjorie. Every bit helps me fill in pieces in my files, and I imagine helps others as well. Do you happen to know her full name? I only recall seeing Willie on the website. Also do you know what the true date of death was? There was obviously some mistake between the stone and the death certificate. I imagine it is the certificate that is wrong. I would not think she died and was buried the same day. That is what the certificate stated though. Also something else is not right either with the certificate or the website. The certificate says she was 52 years old when she died.. That will not work for her to be 52 years old at the time of her death, if she was born Mar 15, 1876 like the cemetery documentation says. Winston Co., sounds like somewhere I would like to visit. I love Alabama anyway. I know the northeast part the best, and have loved it since I was a little girl.The rolling hills and streams and woods are so beautiful. Also, I finally figured out the ! location of death. The writing on this thing is horrendous and I am not familiar with the area. It works out that is IS Walker County, Al. and the town of death is Nauvoo. Thanks again Marjorie.
