The entry in the tombstone transcriptions book shows: Nancy Lovina Criss,
daughter of J & W, died Sept. 18, 1859, aged 1 year, 22 days. Buried in
Vandalia Methodist Cemetery, Owen County.
I can't match up this baby to any of the Criss men whose names started with
J. None of them, at least to my knowledge, had a wife whose name began with
"W". Does anyone know if this is a typo, and if so, whose daughter she was?
