Notes:
Listed in Jacob Mehrling Holdcraft "Names in Stone" Vol 1 1966 p. 828
"John W 9 Feb 1864 - 17 Apr 1924 Rocky Ridge Mt. Tabor Cemetery
wife Lottie M. 17 Jan 1862 - 16 Sep 1929 Rocky Ridge Mt. Tabor Cemetery"
--------------------------
(note. The birth and death years of William are listed as 1864 and 1924 in Holdcraft's book. Family records indicate 1861 and 1921. Also the 1870 & 1880 census support a birth year of 1861. I believe that Holdcraft must have made a transcription error with the dates. The family records are being used.)
The following obituary supplied by Greg Tucker helps clarify the date issue mentioned above. Suggest that the family records were wrong.
[Frederick (Maryland) News Post, Thursday, May 8, 1924:]
