This stone is beside George and Mary (Smedley) Waltz’s stone – and looks very similar.  This must be Mary’s sister, Nancy, who was living with them during the 1860 census.  Perhaps she never married.

IMG_1406George M. Waltz, son of W. E. and E. S. Waltz, born November 3, 1864, died September 14, 1869

A son of William and Betty (Smedley) Waltz.  A daughter was also born to them.  I cannot read the name on her gravestone.

And finally, one last member of the family, J. William Waltz, son of William and Elizabeth (Smedley) Waltz.  He and wife Mattie L. are buried alongside the rest of the family members.

Three generations of the Waltz and Smedley families buried at the beautiful Pisgah Presbyterian Cemetery in Woodford County, Kentucky.
