Notes for Wesley F. Fultz
His gravestone spells his name as Wesley Fults, and has the dates 1815 - 1887. I am entering his surname with the spelling Fultz because that is how all of his sons spelled it.
Notes for Sylva Stamper
Years of birth and death are from her gravestone, a double obelisk with Wesley.
