My husband & I ordered and paid for this double stone for James M. & Emma F. Raby. Emma's date of birth is not correct due to my reading an old 1900 Census which gave the incorrect 1856 birth year. The stone arrived, already engraved, too late for change. My husband set the stone in the Ethel Reece Cemetery. I noted in the wet concrete slab at the side of Emma's name, DOB 1868, and down below the stone in the wet concrete I noted that James M. Raby was the, "BRO. OF MARTHA COLLINS". I have a picture of the stone very plainly showing this information, I know it is not as visible now as it was when the stone was originally set. I'll be happy to scan and add it here. My grandparents, Samuel and Martha (Raby) Collins are buried nearby.
From another source:
Emma (Mary Emily 'Emma' Fetterling Raby) was born in 1866. She is 4 y/o in her family's 1870 census. Her parents were Jacob Fetterling and Eliza Jane Barnes Fetterling. Yes, Emma's sister-in-law was Martha Raby Collins, who also is buried in Ethel Reece Cemetery. A photo of the two sisters-in-law, taken in 1946 in the Tulsa area, is available at Ancestry.com.
