On the left is very likely the headstone for Isaac Layton Daniels who died in 1873 in Union County, Ohio. On the right remains a mystery.
His stone is well-worn, but, fortunately, a cemetery "reading" documented his stone in 1985. A couple of things support this being his burial location in Price Cemetery. He was my kids' 4th great grandfather.
But no record documents what happened to his wife and my kids' fourth great grandmother, Margaret (Lambert) Daniels.
Could the second stone in the plot be hers?
Regrettably, the 1985 cemetery reading didn't mention Margaret or document anything for that adjacent headstone.
I'm going to keep deploying my best efforts at digital image manipulation to see if a hint of some inscription shows up. A crude attempt at a tracing produced nothing.
I might be bugging the township trustees one more time, though I know their records are weak for that far back.
Margaret was believed to have born in 1824 but only Census data supports that. A marriage record tends to help support that year is in the ballpark. No primary record has emerged.
She survived Isaac to show up in Union County in the 1880 Census. Her family migrated to Wood County, Ohio some time after that. Did she go too?
It's another ancestry mystery yet to be solved despite multiple hunters on the job.
