Bertha was buried under the married name of her mother and step-father, Richard and Sarah T. [Steele] Tinkham. Bertha was illegitimate and the name of her biological father was Albert or William Campbell who refused to marry her mother Sarah. Bertha was raised by Richard Tinkham who married her mother, Sarah T. Steele. Ironically, her mother was also illegitimate. Father unknown.
Bertha was married to Thomas Laben Stopher. For unknown reasons she is not buried as Bertha Stopher, but as Bertha Tinkham although she was married to Thomas Stopher at the time she died, (see obituary) Thomas Stopher had other children out of wedlock so it's possible she was not living with her husband at the time. She is also buried with her little baby, Pauline, who is listed as Pauline Stopher on the same headstone. We assume baby Pauline is a child of Thomas Stopher?
