Looking for information on Delitha Cummins Cooprider. She was the widow
of George
Washington Cooprider (he died June 1890 in Clay Co. IN). Looking
for information on her children (she was George's third wife), when she died
and where she is buried. I assume she was still living in 1926 as she is
listed on her brother's John Cummins obituary as his sister Delitha
Cooprider, of Clay City, IN, so I assume she never remarried after her
husband died. Any information would be appreciated.
