The past 189 years have been very harsh on this tombstone and today it is unreadable and would be totally indistinguishable among other rocks of the same color and size.

Eve Dry was the first wife of Owen Ulrich Dry, son of Charles Dry and Christina Muss. Based on the birth of their known first born, Owen and Eve were married about 1776/77.

Eve and Owen had 4 known children before her death in 1828. On 9 December 1834, Owen remarried uniting with Catherine Polk, age 70.

The "Standard" published the marriage of Mr. Owen Dry, aged 80, to Miss Catherine Polk, aged 70, and adds with evident satisfaction ---"all for the Administration "----.
What else could be expected of individuals in their dotage?
