Narrative

Note: The family of Eldora Ann Miller

Eldora's headstone appears to have been engraved for both her and he husband, Melvin L. Hayford (b. 1937), but as of 2004 - the date on the photo included on her listing on the FindaGrave.com website - the vital dates for Melvin were still incomplete.

Interestingly, the FindaGrave.com website also lists a burial for Melvin Leroy Hayford (b. 23 Mar 1937, d. 13 Mar 2007) in For Custer National Cemetery in Augusta, Kalamazoo Cty, Michigan, but without an included photo. A general search turns up an obituary for Melvin that mentions what appears to be his second wife (Inez Hirlemann) and a wedding date and location of 16 Jan 1987 in Sherwood, Branch Cty, Michigan, two years after Eldora's death and in the same village where she is buried (and where the couple was presumably living at the time of her death). The obituary makes no mention at all of his first marriage or of Eldora, his first wife, but does enumerate among the survivors his daughter (Kathy Edwards) and his four step-children (presumably children of Inez).

This suggests to me that Melvin and Eldora had only one child prior to Eldora's death in 1985.
