Thank you so much. Alma is buried in Eastlawn cemetery in Hamilton. She has her own cemetery marker and is also on another which shows MILES at the top and includes her first two husbands and her brother John Hambley but George Miles is not on that stone.
She was Mrs. George Miles in 1967 when her brother Albert Hambley died in Lee Co., IL. Her name was in his obituary. That's when I started looking for a female in the family married to a Miles. Another tree showed all of her husbands but they didn't seem to know what happened to George either and did not know about Albert Hambley who migrated to Illinois It's a very interesting family.
I really appreciate your help.
