Olive (Jacobs) and Henry Emery - burial

My great great great great grandparents, Olive (Jacobs) and Henry Emery were buried at the Galva Cemetery in Henry County, Illinois.

Olive was born January 6, 1808 in Pennsylvania.   Henry was born January 7, 1802 in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania to Edith (Fisher) and David Emery.    Olive and Henry married January 13, 1825, also in Pennsylvania.

Olive died September 26, 1859 in Weller township, Henry County, Illinois.   Henry died November 17, 1875 also in Weller township, Henry County, Illinois.    Here is a photo of the Emery plot.

Here is a photo of the front of the monument.    The inscription states "Our Father and Mother" and below that just above the base, "Emry" which was apparently another spelling of the family name.

Here is a photo of Olive's side of the monument.

Here is a closeup of Olive's side as well as the inscription of her age.

Here is a closeup of Henry's inscription.








































The two markers to the right of the Emery (Emry) monument probably stated "Mother" and "Father" at one point, but they are no longer legible.

This one may say "Edith" or "Mother".

This one may say "Henry" or "Father".
