Mrs. James Leigh is survived by 5 daughters; Mrs. Clara Allen, Mrs. Bertie Bond, Louisa Swaggert, of Harpers Ferry, one daughter, Mrs. [Sithia] Peacher of Bolivar.
The obit only list 4 of the daughters, the 5th was most likely Idella, also living in Harpers Ferry. A 6th daughter, Octavia Elizabeth Whetnall, was living in Ohio.
The obituary was published Saturday, November 6th, 1909, 2 years prior to the 1911 date on the her stone. I believe James and Susan's markers were placed some years after their deaths when the family had the means to purchase them. The death dates appear to be incorrect on both.
