PLEASE NOTE: John did die on the 15th, were given the incorrect death day date upon ordering their stone unfortunately, but now there is nothing that can be done.
Married December 6, 1870, in Frederick County, Maryland.
He and his wife had 8 children.
Neither him or his wife had a stone or could be found. If it wasn't for me finding his wife's obituary, I would have never known she and him were even buried in Marvin Chapel Church Yard.
We visited the cemetery to find that there was no stone for either him or her but there was an open area towards the church and I felt they were probably there.
We then called the care-taker of the cemetery and he said he did not know, as the records were far apart and very few. So he contacted an individual that said they remembered her being buried there along with her husband many years ago.
John David had purchased 4 plots total, and he and her were in the first two.
They are not positive, but it has been said that their is a homeless lady that was also buried in one of the remaining plots many years later.
And it is still not clear whether there is another person buried in the final plot, or is it still vacant?
In 2001 our family placed their gravestone we purchased for them both into the cemetery. It may be long over due, by about 70 years, but their presence will now be known for other generations.
