You are so very helpful and I appreciate it : ) Ida Holmes was twice married into the Finch family. Her first husband, David Finch, died and David's brother, Lafayette Finch who had recently been widowed, married Ida. Eva Finch was the daughter of David and Ida, niece & stepdaughter to Lafayette. Eva married into the Benson family, and as you said, was living in McKean County, Pennsylvania. I wasn't aware that Orange (Julius) Holmes was buried in Ceres. Thank you so much for sharing that information. Lafayette was my gg-grandfather and his first wife, Cornelia Roberts, was my gg-grandmother.
