J. B. Pulley
Ca. 1829 ~ 22 March 1902

That's what the tombstone photo most looks like. Age looks like 73. 1829 is NOT on the tombstone.

I was keeping it as it was, in the event it was NOT George W., but it got turned into a memorial for his wife, because of the J. B. Pulley.

-------------------------

Galena death record and funeral record give name as George W., not J. B. His wife was Bessie Jane, possibly that's the confusion?
