Above, the headstones for hubby's grandmother and five of her siblings:
- Orville J. Steiner (1856-1936)
- Adaline "Addie" Steiner (1859-1879)
- Etta Blanche Steiner Rhuark (1864-1956)
- Minnie Estella Steiner Halbedel (1868-1947)
- Carrie Eileen Steiner Traxler (1870-1963)
- Floyda Mabel Steiner McClure (1878-1948) - Grandma Floyda
The two eldest children of Edward & Elizabeth Steiner are buried elsewhere. Their first-born's stone, marked "Infant son of Steiner, October 23, 1852," is in Oceola Cemetery #2, Crawford County, Ohio.
Their first daughter, Elveretta (1854-1855), is also buried in Oceola Cemetery #2, a small cemetery that hubby and I were able to visit and photograph only because a kind Find A Grave volunteer provided very detailed directions. Thank you!
I love that painter's palette footstone, so unusual. We always look for some of the unusual stones in the cemeteries where my grandparents are buried, but we haven't turned up any in our own family yet.
