Lois Beryl Stewart (1889-1966), Jay County, Indiana

Working on filling in some gaps in my database by utilizing the "Indiana Marriages, 1811-1959" database at Familysearch.org to see what updates and corrections I could find.

Lois Beryl Stewart (1889-1966) was the daughter of Richard Perry Stewart and Rachel Ann Wehrly.  Her marriage on July 24, 1910 in Jay County, Indiana was found in the database.  Prior to this find, I had only the date, but no location for their marriage.

"Indiana, Marriages, 1811-1959," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/V6R5-KNH : accessed 23 Nov 2013), Earl O Burdg and Lois Beryl Stewart, .
Lois was my paternal second cousin twice removed.  Our common ancestors were Johannes Wehrly and Barbara Petry.  Lois died in 1966 in Jay County, Indiana.
