comments

Berea lists her date of burial as 24 December 1872. The Grindstone City Advertiser reported on 27 December 1872: "Died. Nokes- In this village, on Monday, Dec. 23rd, 1872, Isabel May, youngest daughter of J.C. and H.M Nokes, aged 1 year and 4 months." Transcriptions of a headstone are recorded in 1904 and 1934."Isabella M Nokes, dau of J.C. & H.M. Nokes, died Dec 23, 1872, age 1y, 5mo"(1904) "Sabelle M Nokes, dau of J.C. & H.M. Nokes, died Dec 23, 1872, age 1y, 5mo" (1934). Other Nokes burials (Georgianna and an infant) were exhumed. See those entries. Isabella's grave marker was located in 2006; it appears to be marble although very grayed. Of the inscription, all that is clearly legible is "ISABELLA M."
