I did look at the tombstone photo.This certainly is different from the norm...
Am I reading that right?That his 2 wives died AFTER he did?It also would seem to me that if this Marie was a wife, then why isn't she listed in line with the others?
I checked around a bit and could find nothing definative on her, probably due to the time frame.
What I would suggest to you is to get a copy of her obit.That would probably be the easiest and cheapest way to learn more about her.
According to the SSDI, she resided in Walkerton at the time of her death.
Marie FUNKHOUSER
Birth Date: 4 Oct 1912
Death Date: Apr 1986
Social Security Number: (removed for safety reasons)
State or Territory Where Number Was Issued:New York
Death Residence Localities
ZIP Code: 46574
Localities:Walkerton, Saint Joseph, Indiana
(there was also another Marie Funkhouser from St. Joseph County who died in 1991, she being born in 1913)
Now I went to epodunk.com and found that Walkerton, per epodunk.com, is a town in the South Bend/Mishawaka metro area.The South Bend Tribune is the local paper for the area (among a list of others, none in the same county)
www.southbendtribune.com/
I would email this paper and see if they indeed printed an obit on her and how to go about getting a copy.
