In pension records there are the following personal affidavits signed: Virginia A. Shull, age 62, 25-Nov-1909 Hen. Co., Il.; Jesse L. Tate, age 69, 25-Nov-1909 Hen. Co., Il.; Marietta Trimmer, age 70, 29-Nov-1909 Hen. Co.,Il.; Mary Cooper, age 53, 23-Oct-1909 Hen. Co., Il.; Amanda E. Tate, age 47, 23-Oct-1909 Hen. Co., Il; James B. Lant, age 68, 3-Nov-1909, Hen. Co., Il.; James P. Wilt, age 63, 10-Nov-1909, Lancaster, Oh.; Lucy A. Flemming, age 51, 10-Nov-1909, Lancaster, Oh., and Philip Shull, age 67, 5-Jan-1889, Hen. Co., Il.The plot in which she is buried has the letter 'L' on all four corners, encompassing about 8 graves, 2 of which are her and her sister. Inside the 'L's is a stone with the last name of 'Lox'. I would guess they might have had a sister who married a 'Lox' but I haven't found anything to support this theory.
