We had time on Saturday, so we decided to re-visit Covenanter Cemetery in town. Since our last visit, a car had driven into the side wall and inflicted damage to one of the monuments. But it has since been repaired.

She was the wife of William Curry Ewing (1827-1885) whose name is shown on the other side of the headstone. I am unsure if their had any children.
Her obituary shows that she died of La Grippe.

There is an inscription that is of interest. It states:
"Gone to Rest
In Memory of Martha
Relict of the late
Robert Fullerton
Died
Jan 2 1873

& 8 ms"
Relict is a term for a widow who had not remarried before her death. It was a popular term from the 17th and 18th centuries.

He had at least one brother, but I have not found who his parents were:
James McCaughan (?-?) - unknown
He was married to Nancy McCaughan (1818-1885). Her name is shown on the opposite side of the monument.
They had seven children:
Margaret J. Craig (1843-1925) - buried in Covenanter Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana (this is extrapolated from the fact that she is the wife Daniel Craig and the obituary shows the name Mrs Daniel Craig as a daughter).
Hannah I. McCaughan (1845-1863) - buried in Covenanter Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana.
Mary McCaughan Faris (1847-1899) - buried in Covenanter Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana
Martha S. McCaughan (1850-1897) -buried in Covenanter Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana.
Agnes M, Latimer (1852-1934) - buried in Covenanter Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana (this is extrapolated from the fact that his obituary states a daughter as Mrs. David Latimer and Agnes falls into the right time frame).
Lizzie McCaughan (1857-1914) - buried in Covenanter Cemetery, Monroe County, Indiana (this is extrapolated from the fact that there is an Elizabeth McCaughan buried here with a birthdate in the correct range.)
