Hi Lindsey,
Evidently, Harriet had two children with first or middle name of Elizabeth. Elizabeth An
Josaphene Pritchard (as spelled in the bible) who was born on Nov. 12, 1866 and died Mar.
19, 1868, and then the last child was the one I mentioned in my note--Harriet Elizabeth
Pritchard, who was born on Feb. 28, 1879. Her mother, Harriet Croushorn Pritchard, died
March 5, 1879. That information was in the bible. I have found that Harriet Elizabeth was
married to Leroy Otis Stingley and died in 1936. Leroy (Roy) died in Jan. 1952 and both
are buried in Concord Cemetery in Tippecanoe County in Indiana.
I believe the bible belonged to an older sister of Harriet Elizabeth, who was Ida Isabelle
Pritchard (Aunt Ida). She also married a Stingley who was Leroy's brother--Albert
Gormley Stingley, born Oct. 15, 1971 and died Sept. 2, 1933. Although a marker for
Ida's grave is with Albert's marker, I was told that she may have gone to
California (where she is actually buried) to live with her remaining daughter and died in
1956. The grave marker is pictured in the Stingley Cemetery in Stockwell, Tippecanoe
County, Indiana, as well as the grave of their 2 year old daughter Margie Melissa.
I don't know who copied the information out of the bible or who has the bible now,
probably someone back there in Indiana. Is there a website for the reunion? I'm not
sure whether we would be able to attend, but it would be fun to consider. Good luck with
your research.
Best regards,
Mike
