Nov 2012 research: Gerald Beaman, on my behalf, inquired at the Tillsonburg Cemetery as to who are buried in the Carpenter / Taylor plot; staff at the cemetery office showed him the burial book / register and listed in that plot are Daniel Miller Weeks & Mary M. Weeks but no marker for either of them. after discussing this via telephone, Gerald will contact the office again and see if there is a date given for a burial time for Mary M. Weeks.
