The conflict over the identify of the wife's maiden surname is significant so the merge cannot be approved until that issue is resolved (in favor of Buss). Otherwise, too-casual "researchers" will continue to identify invalid Beck parents for her.

Perry,

Why would she be buried in the Beck Cemetery if she was a Buss child? Are there other records that support the maiden name of Buss?
