Jane Stokes
Inscription on the same stone with Delmore Berry
Aged 69 years.
STOKES, Jane
Per Champaign County Marriage Book E, page 369: Jane Stokes married Samuel Stokes on July 12, 1855 by John L. Mitchell, Elder in the Methodist Episcopal Church. Her previous surname was Vickers. Samuel was married previously to Nancy Thomas.
However, in the book, “The History of Champaign County, Ohio …”, Chicago: W.R. Beers & Co., 1881, on page 825 is a biography of William L. Stokes, son of Samuel and Nancy (Thomas) Stokes, P.O. Mingo in Salem Township. It is mentioned that Samuel Stokes’ wife died about 1850. “Mr. Stokes married for his second wife, Jane Baker, who is still living, residing now in North Lewisburg, this county.” Thus, the previous surname for Jane Stokes (second wife of Samuel Stokes) was Baker, per this reference.

Knowing that Jane Stokes was living in the James D. and Sarah E. Berry household, and shown as a mother-in-law, explains why her inscription appears on the same stone as Delmore (Delmar) Berry. She was his grandmother; they died a little more than a year apart from each other.
