Obituary:
"Mrs. Adaline Blevins died at the residence of Idaho Bill on Tuesday, of dropsy, after a long and painful illness. She was buried in the Troy cemetery on Wednesday. She left three children, all boys, to mourn her life; the oldest 10 years old and the youngest 3 years. Mrs. Blevins was the second person to be buried in the Troy cemetery. The first was Wm. Rodda, who died of pneumonia last November."

According to census, marriage and other records:
Mrs. Adaline Flippin married John Henry Blevins September 20, 1887 in Tempe, Maricopa County, Arizona. Her birth date was listed as 1868 on their marriage record. There is no record to show her marriage to John W.Flippin or what happened to him but it appears they married in 1884.
Adaline and John Henry Blevins had three surviving children: Henry Burr, Emery L., and Roy Blevins. The 1900 census says that Addie had 7 children, with 3 surviving. I'm going to speculate that these may be her other 3 babies, buried in a nearby cemetery, although they could belong to one of the other Blevins' in the area:

Newspaper articles in the 1930 say that John Henry Blevins was considered one of the last survivors of the famous 'Pleasant Valley Wars', also known as the 'Graham - Tewksbury Feud' which took place in Pleasant Valley, Arizona in the late 1880s-1890s. But that Blevins/Blevans family was reportedly from Texas and while a John Blevins was a member of that notorious family, I've found no evidence it was the John Henry Blevins who was married to Adaline.
Interesting people, these pioneers - if anyone has any further information on this family, it would be greatly appreciated.
