Questons:Does anyone know who this Mrs. Elizabeth Beard's husband is mentioned in obit?Is she the wife of Giles, or perhaps another brother?Buried in the same BEARD lot at Truxton Village Cemetery, NY, is Fern Elizabeth BEARD died 21 May, 1923, wife of George C. Beard.Now I'm realy confused. Can anyone help to untangle this root....Mrs. Elizabeth BEARD vs Fern Elizabeth BEARD?Are they different people?

Also does anyone know the date & place of marriage for Addie L. Beard & George Beard Jr.?Or George Jr's date of birth?
