Shieder who is buried in the May Cemetery? James D. "Shider" b. April 21, 1824, d. Aug. 21, 1889; married Anna Murray Tatum (also buried here), b. May 3, 1826, d. Oct. 1, 1897. They only had one child, Martha C., who died as a child, but they raised other children, including Anna's niece, my great-grandmother, Anna Murray Gavin. Anna M. Shieder's sister, Mary Elizabeth Tatum, married Jefferson Stokes, son of Peter Stokes and Lucy T. Risher.
