Daughter of Samuel Jarvis And Melvina Ricketts, grandchild of Benjamin R. & Rachel Griffee Ricketts, also buried in this cemetery.
My husband and I made a personal visit to Charleston Old Town Cemetery in 1995 but was unable to find Mary Susan's tombstone because of damage by tornado in 1917 and later damage by vandals. Coles Co., IL has a cemetery listing for Mary Susan Jarvis in their records. Lucille Adams Smith

Wanted to let you know that I found Mary's stone. It's been reset and not much left, but enough I could tell who she was.
