Lydia Ann (Miller) Durham
1854 - 1882
Daughter of Robert & Mary Miller

Martinsville Cemetery

Death date does not agree with vital records.
Her death is actually 21 Dec 1882, not 1884. The birth date can be calculated from the tombstone/death cert as 18 Aug 1854 although I usually doubt the accuracy of the day calculation on that. I'm not sure why they buried her with the Millers in Michigan instead of the Durham family in Philadelphia - maybe because she died young so the family plot was in Martinsville vs. the Durhams, wherever that may be.
