Hi Sherry, OK, then she is actually Lillie Elizabeth EVANS, widow of Aaron WHITAKER (b. 1-9-1852, d. 2-15-1919). She was the only child of Tison (Tyson) EVANS and Elizabeth Lucinda NICHOLSON who are buried at Hogan's Creek Primitive Baptist Church. Appreciate the offer on the monument, but I'm familiar with the area since I'm often up there looking for and documenting cemeteries. I've surveyed the burials of several cemeteries in Surry and I'll be up there in the next week or so to do the surveys of Siloam Baptist and Siloam UMC. I've got several ancestors there myself. Am still clueless as to the VASO (VASSO) name on the death record and thought she may have remarried after Aaron's death but I don't see a record of it. Thanks for the offer!
