Background information:
George W WRIGHT married Indiana LEATHERS, 5 Nov 1864 in Gibson County, Indiana.  They had at least five children who were living at the time of the 1880 census which perhaps explains why she had remarried quickly to Henry BECK on 31 Aug 1876.

Indiana LEATHERS was a daughter of William & Mary “Polly” (SEVERNS) LEATHERS.  The Leathers family once owned the land where the cemetery is located.
