If anyone would like a copy, I took a picture today of the tombstone of Jeremiah Alonzo Wren, b. Nov 1832, York Co, South Carolina; d. Aft. 1913, Tishomingo Co, Mississippi

and his wife's tombstone:

MARTHA R. FARRIS; b. Nov 21, 1831, Chester Co, South Carolina; d. Oct 06, 1903. I found their names in the previous post, and thought someone would really enjoy seeing the tombstones. They are buried at Bethany Presbyterian Cemetery in Tishomingo County, Mississippi. Most of the people here were related, and I thought it odd to see Mr. Wren from South Carolina there, so I took the pictures.
