(I have not located three of her children as of yet—Issac W. (born abt 1855), Pearl/Paula (born abt 1865), and Martha E. (born abt 1863--could this be Emily?) If you have any information on these children, please message me so I can update.)
Gravesite problem —"Problem: I searched the entire cemetery and could not find the grave
Details: In the 'old section' of this cemetery there is a large open area with no grave markers. As a child, my father and my grandfather who had lived in this community all of their lives, told me that the open area was filled with unmarked graves. With this being said, and in consideration of the date of death of Lydia Guess, her grave may be amongst the unmarked graves."—Volunteer's Profile (49135136)
