Biography
From Find A Grave:
Mary Elisabeth " Liz" Belcher was the fourth child and second daughter of John A. Belcher and Jemimah Cauley Belcher.
'Liz' married Daniel 'Petey' Jarrell on Jan, 17 1879. Liz was 16 and Daniel was 21 years old. The ceremony was performed by my great-great grandfather , Amos Halstead II , who was a Campbellite minister.
'Petey' was the brother of Joseph 'Joe' Jarrell , husband of Liz's sister , Rhoda 'Rodie' Belcher Jarrell .
It is believed that Liz and Petey did not have any children together .
Mary's grave is located next to her sister Martha Jane and was unmarked for many years. All but two graves of this Belcher family generation are located in a common row in this cemetery . Most are only marked with rocks at the foot and head .
-- Bio researched , written and family links completed by Dwight D. Halstead , grandson of Liz's nephew , Ezra F. Halstead .
