Tombstone Tuesday: Lon J. and Bertha B. (________) Wehrly
Source: Salamonia Cemetery (Jay County, Indiana), Lon J. and Bertha B. Wehrly marker, photographed by Travis LeMaster, 26 March 2009.
Lon was born March 1880 in Jay County, Indiana, the son of John P. and Catherine E. (LEMASTERS) WEHRLY.
Bertha was born circa 1884 in Indiana, according to the 1930 census.
I do not yet have the date of their marriage, though it must have been circa 1905 based on the birth dates of their children. Four known children: Mary L., Robert W., June L. and Catherine E.
Lon was the County Sherriff in Jay County at the time of the 1930 census.
Lon died in 1960 and Bertha died in 1959.

The Doctors LeMaster
While searching for information about my paternal great granduncles, Vernon Walker LeMASTER and Ord Otterbein LeMASTER, physicians of Sidney, Shelby County, Ohio, I came across the following at Google books:
Source: Hover & Barnes, ed. Memoirs of the Miami Valley, Robert Law Co., 1919, p. 367
The Drs. O.O. and Vernon LeMaster are brothers and natives of Indiana. Dr. O.O. LeMaster was born in 1876, and graduated from Starling Medical college in 1902, practicing in Kettlersville, Shelby county, for twelve years before settling in Sidney. Dr. Vernon LeMaster was born in 1887, and graduated from Michigan university medical college in 1914, about which time both brothers came to Sidney. Lieut. Vernon entered the army medical service during the war, and has just returned from overseas service with the U.S. colors. (1919).

Ord and Vernon were sons of Luman Walker and Mary Keziah (CHEW) LeMASTERS, both born in Jay County, Indiana. Vernon was actually born in 1888. Starling Medical College is now known as the Ohio State University College of Medicine in Columbus, Ohio.

Sunday's Obituary: Bertha Fidelia (LeMaster) Yaeger (1874-1922)
Source: Commercial-Review, Portland, Indiana, March 17, 1922, page 2.
MRS. JOHN H. YEAGER DEAD BRAZIL, IND.
Mrs. Bertha Yaeger, 47, wife of John H. Yaeger of Brazil, Ind., passed away Thursday noon. She underwent an operation Sunday noon and never recovered. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L.W. LeMaster of Salamonia. Mr. Yaeger was a principal for sixteen years in the schools at Brazil, and also taught in the Madison Township schools. Mrs. Yaeger was formerly a teacher in the Michigan schools and taught in Portland and Madison Township schools about nineteen years ago.
The deceased is survived by the husband and six children, Clarence, Mary, Helen, John Vernon, George Walker and Luther. She is also survived by the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. L.L. Rockwell of Fort Recovery; L.C. LeMaster , west of Salamonia; W.C. LeMaster of Denver, Colo.; Mrs. M.J. Atkinson of Salamonia; Mrs. Henry Meinholtz of Alamosa, Colo.; Mrs. S.W. Phillips of David City, Neb.; A.R. LeMaster of Geneva, and Drs. O.O. and V.W. LeMasters, both of Sydney, O.
The body will arrive in this city Saturday and will be taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. L.W. LeMaster at Salamonia, where it will lie in state until the hour of the funeral. The complete funeral arrangements will be announced later.
----
Note the surname is spelled both Yeager and Yaeger in the same obituary, almost as bad as LeMaster/LeMasters. The tombstone in Salamonia Cemetery spells the surname Yaeger.
I didn't know that Bertha taught in Michigan, will have to research this as well.
