YORK, Rhoda T. Tomerlin, wife of John S. York, 16 Feb 1851 - only
date listed**. Married Aug. 1, 1880 to John S. York. Parents:
John Tomerlin and Elizabeth Jane Winsett. 0979/0980
**Two possibilities are likely for this. (1) The husband
died first and the stone was set with her information except for the death
date, as she was still living and she chose to be buried elsewhere. (2)
Since she died after him the usual conditions are the children were not as
vigorous in getting the details inscribed on the stone as the wife was for
the husband, so no one inscribed the death date.
