Debbie, I have been doing this for over 40 years now and the "misinformation"that I've found would fill a dump truck.My ggg-uncles headstone is even wrong.He died in 1874 and they chiseled 1871 and just quit I guess,didn't put the cross mark to make the 4.It's crazy the mistakes you find,George must have died suddenly sice they were married only a short time.Bertha got married again pretty fast though.Best Regards and if I can help any time let me know.I live in Jerseyville.IL.
