Thomas Allender and wife Sarah "Sadie" were 1st cousins. Thomas's Mother, Effie Hastings and Sarah's Mother, Mary Hastings were sisters. Thomas and Sarah died on the same day. She died in the morning and he died that night.
They lived across the road from the cemetery at the time of their death. They had two family plots in the cemetery that they had purchased previously. When they died the plots were opened. It was found that one plot had been used by another in error. Because of that, Thomas was buried at the top of the hill (nearest the church at the time) and Sarah was buried at the bottom of the hill in the original plot. Because they died on the same day, other arrangements could not be made. The family always talked about how sad this was. The small stones are no longer there to mark their resting places.
