FYI - In 2002 or 3 (my mind slips) my great uncle Toby died, his name is Olen McCullough, buried McCullough Cemetery. Keeping in mind buried 2002, his tombstone says "To Be" McCulloughI persoanally was appalled, however the relatives that paid for it, said Tobe wouldn't mind he didn't like reading and writing. True enough, so they took a reduced amount on the tombstone. I thought if they were keeping the stone that way, then we should add " a, is heaven". That way the stone would say "To Be A McCullough is Heaven". Needless to say didn't happen. Point being why can't Theadore Eliza. Butler be Eliz. Butler? Or did I miss something? Completely possiable.

Completely possiable. ======================================== Theadore Elizabeth Butler and Elizabeth Butler are the same person. The death certificate asks for the full name. Tombstone makers don't ask for the full name. They put whatever on the tombstone. Hope this clarifies. Sincerely, Cheri Mello
