I have used the name that is on the marker but her name on her Canadian birth record was Amerca Elizabeth.

Mercy married George W. Richmire on 4 Nov. 1896 in Matilda, Dundas Co., Ontario, Canada.

They divorced in 1918 and she then married William J. LaRue on 22 Nov. 1918 in Bad Axe, Huron Co., Michigan, United States.

Obituary from Wyoming County Times, Warsaw, N. Y., published Thursday, Feb. 27, 1918

The Collings Michigan Tufcola Co. Advertiser announces the death of Mrs. William Larme formerly wife of Rev. George W. Richmire who was pastor of the M. E. church in this village a few years ago. The notice is as follows: Mrs. William (missing letter)arme died at her home Saturday evening, January 4th from the effects of the influenza after a severe illness of two weeks being 41 years old and a bride of only five weeks. Her death is mourned by her husband, father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. James Coons of Cairo, Mich., two brothers, John and Wesley of Detroit, Mich., James of Boston, Mass., George of Ironwood, U. P., one sister, Mrs. C. Froom of Regena, N. U. T. The funeral was held at Cairo and burial at Almer cemetery. She also leaves three children by her first husband, Rev. G. W. Richmire who resides in Buffalo with him.

I typed the above as it was written in the newspaper, making no corrections. There are several spelling errors and her father's first name is incorrect in this obituary.
