Tombstone of Margaret Rebecca (Loury) Blacker

Tombstone of Margaret Rebecca (Loury) Blacker, located in Oakwood Cemetery, Macomb, McDonough County, Illinois. Photo taken in 2001 by Wendy Edwards.

Here is a copy of the photo I mentioned in a post from several days back.  The photo was taken by Wendy Edwards, a newly discovered cousin who is also the source of the cemetery record discussed in that same post.

Wendy is a descendant of Margaret’s daughter Elizabeth1.

Thank you Wendy!!
