  • Notes 
    • William O. Chisam, son of Overton DeWeese and Celia (Hash) Chisam, husband to Mary Jane Clark.

      It has been handed down that William lived to be 101 and died in 1951, and perhaps the last two numbers of his death date are reversed on the stone, however, I haven't found documents on William past 1910.
