      Baldwin, Baltimore County, Maryland, USA
      DEATH: 24 Jul 1865 (aged 80)
      Mercer, Mercer County, Missouri, USA
      BURIAL: South Lineville Cemetery
      South Lineville, Mercer County, Missouri, USA
      PLOT: Sec 2 Row 7 Stone 18
      MEMORIAL ID: 90984788
      Father of Margaret Cox who married John Spencer and they had a daughter named Mary Spencer who married Domis "Frank" Selby. After Domis died she married Stephen Lundy. Nice work on the stone!! I am thinking instead of being broken top to bottom, the stone is broken side to side--kind of in half. Census records, etc, it all seems to fit. I will share the records, but it appears that John and Margaret Cox Spencer are buried in Elm Cemetery--the same cemetery as their daughter, Mary Spencer Selby Lundy. Thanks for your work in locating and posting these gravestones. I will share what I have for Susan Laughlin, the wife of Arthur W. Cox on her find a grave web page.
