David and Edith Emery burial - Part II

I previously posted about the burials of my great great great great great grandparents, Edith (Fisher) and David Emery*.

Here are some current photos of the cemetery and their burial plot.   David's headstone had fallen over, though luckily it had not broken.   Edith's was still standing upright.

Here is a photo of the Locust Lane Methodist Cemetery.

Edith and David Emery are buried in section "R" (shown below) of the Locust Lane Methodist Cemetery in Joshua Township,  Fulton County, Illinois near the town of Canton.

Here is a photo of their plot with the headstones next to each other.

Here is a close up of Edith's headstone.

Here is a close up of David's headstone.

*David as well as his son, my great great great great grandfather Henry opted to delete the second "e" from his name and apparently spelled it as "Emry" rather than Emery.

David and Edith Emery - burial

Here are photos of the grave markers of my great great great great great grandparents, Edith (Fisher) and David Emery.

David was born January 4, 1780 in Lebanon, New Jersey to Mary (Reed) and John Emery.    He died October 15, 1855 in Canton, Illinois and is buried at the Locust Lane Methodist Church cemetery.


























Edith was born October 3, 1782 in West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Amelia (Brock) and David Fisher.

She died June 4, 1861 in Canton, Illinois and is buried at the Locust Lane Methodist Church cemetery.

David and Edith were married in 1800 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Unfortunately, the marker was misspelled as "Emry".  The correct spelling is "Emery".
