Jack & Lizzie Pearson Headstone
Description
An account of the resource
This is the confirmed resting place of John "Jack Pearson". However, the resting place of his wife "Lizzie" is still being contested due to conflicting census records. It would seem at one point Jack was married to a woman named Alcinda. Also in another record it said that Lizzie Pearson was still alive in 1920, and living with her stepdaughter.
