She was born in abt. 1860 and married David Porter Cartwright, also from Piqua, in 1883. They moved to Ft. Wayne, IN where she died in 1943. She is buried in Ft. Wayne. I would love to know any info you can give me about Birelys buried in Piqua. Somewhere I got info that her dad's name was Jerome and her mom Ellen. Would love to hear from you. Judy Woods
