Longmeyer, age 18, were married 5 Sep 1872 by Isaac, Thorp, Minister. I have found no other record of George and Charlotte in Crawford County. George's mother Mary was buried at the Cherokee Cemetery where her tombstone has: Mary wife of Jediah Eakes died Dec 19 1875 age 54 yrs 1 mo & 16 dys Dearest mother thou hast left us Here thy loss we deeply feel. But 'tis God that hath bereft us ... (the remainder is apparently not readable). Other Eakes family members buried in the Cherokee Cemetery are Fracis D. 1842-1930, Mary J. 1850-1922, and Gladys W. 1895-1971.
