Our first stop is at the grave of Lilly Pearl Dellinger.

Born: September 2, 1882

Died: October 16, 1888

She was the young daughter of Jonas Dellinger (1820-1906) and Susan Barekman Dellinger (1846-1921).  Her father is buried nearby in Lower Indiana Presbyterian Cemetery, next to his first wife, Sarah E. Dellinger (1840-1875).  Her mother buried in Fairview Cemetery in Vincennes, Knox County, Indiana.

She had a few siblings:

Emma Jane Dellinger (1866-1934) - buried in Fairview Cemetery, Knox County, Indiana

Edgar Dellinger (1867-1952) - buried in Greenlawn Cemetery, Knox County, Indiana

Mamie S. Dellinger Grabbe (1874-1961) - buried in Fairview Cemetery, Knox County, Indiana

We now stop at the grave of John Smith.

Born: 1802

Died: May 25, 1852

I am unsure of his family connections.  There are a few other Smiths buried nearby, but with the name John Smith, it is hard to find any concrete evidence pointing to any other family.

A note at the bottom of his headstone states "The death was caused by a fall from a horse which dislocated his neck."

Here we have a closeup of the headstone for Letitia M.F. Pea.

Born: August 15, 1851

Died: May 8, 1864

She was the daughter of William Harrison Pea (1816-1886) and Minerva R. Rodarmel Pea (1820-1889).   Both are buried nearby in Lower Indiana Presbyterian Church Cemetery.

She had several siblings:

Mary S. Pea (1842-1858) - buried in Lower Indiana Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Knox County, Indiana.

John B.H. Pea (1843-1843) - buried in Lower Indiana Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Knox County, Indiana.

Phila B. Pea Cannon (1854-1934) - buried in Fairview Cemetery, Knox County, Indiana.

Edward R. Pea (1856-1928) - buried in Fairview Cemetery, Knox County, Indiana.

Our final stop is at the grave of Ida M. Gillmore.

Born: April 2, 1876

Died: 1876

She was the infant daughter of John T. Gillmore (?-?) and Angeline Gillmore (?-?).  I have not yet been able to find where they are buried or if she had any siblings.
