(The next memorial matches this one for Harry N. Rodgers. It is engraved Elva M. Bennitt 1882-1975. Were they husband and wife?)
*****************
Hi,
You have a note regarding a marker next to this individual. Your question was
is Elva Bennitt his wife?

The answer is yes. However, her maiden name was Elva M NESS, daughter of James Ness (1832-1910) and Mary E. ? (1843-?). There was an obituary for James Ness,
mentioning Elva and Harry Rodgers.

My guess is she remarried Bennitt after her husband died. She was the sister of my g-grandmother, Sarah Ness.
