Hello Kristina: I would appreciate your looking for the obituary of Essington Kephart who died 31 March 1893. I understand he was a Methodist minister. His first wife, Mary Ann Meese Kephart, died sometime after the 1880 census and before his marriage to Margaret Dewoody Griffin in January 1883. She died 23 June 1885; his third marriage was to Deborah Vincent. Thank you for your gracious offer and for your precious time. Edna M.

Gale, Thanks for the reference. I was about to panic with the thought that I would need to sort through all my paperwork. Needless to say, it isn't organized. It appears that the E came from Mary's tombstone.
