Narrative: "in same lot: George Reel, Russell Reel, Mary Reel Sumpter, Zachary Taylor Reel, Eddie Reel. There is no cemetery record for John Sumpter. I'm assuming Mary Sumpter is Zachary Taylor Reel's mother. There is only one John Sumpter in the state who was the right age to be married to Mary Reel, but he was married to his own wife in that time period; however, maybe we just haven't discovered his grave yet. No idea about Mary's first husband's grave or even his name." Includes photo of memorial for Zachary Taylor Reel, 1849-1903. Memorial 36884010, created by and photo added by Katie Lou.
