Mary P. Lynde to Elijah S. Alvord on 17 Jul 1830 in Greenfield, Franklin County, Massachusetts

According to the Ashtabula Weekly Telegraph published on 11 May 1861
"By the request of the relatives and friends we publish in the Telegraph, an abstract of the sermon preached by the Rev. R. H. Conklin, of this place, at the funeral of Mrs. Mary Alvord, wife of E. S. Alvord, Esq. of Austinburg, who died on the 4th inst., and was buried Sabbath May 5th..."

Mary's husband Elijah Alvord is buried in Washington D.C and remarries in 1864. He appears to be buried with his second wife in D.C. The burial plot does not actually show him buried here in Indianapolis but his name is on the stone with no dates. Birth year is pulled from census records.
A news article on Elijah's death appears in the The Indianapolis News (Indianapolis, Indiana) on 12 Mar 1894, Mon Page 2 and it states he came to Indianapolis in the early 40's and dies in D.C. It gives some detail on his business which is tied up in legal proceedings. In the course of the article it mentions sons Edward, Henry, and James and a daughter Mary who married the Rev. David Stevenson, pastor of the Third Presbyterian church who is now preaching at Amboy, N.J. His wife has been dead for many years.
It finalizes by saying that Elijah "He leaves a widow, a second wife much younger than himself; a son (Henry) by a former wife, and a younger son by his last wife."
