2nd and 3rd photos are of the 2 halves of the headstone of Darling's wife, Mary 
Jane:
Together they read:


Mary Jane
Wife of Darling Duke
Born Aug 16 1829
Died Jan 27 1902
Age 79 years 5 mos 11 days


Mary Jane was Mary Jane Stewart and they were married in Upson County, GA on 
December 18 1846. They had at least 2 sons; Edmund (who is buried at Tazewell 
Cemetery in Marion County, GA). James, and 2 daughters, Frances and Mary J.

I believe the Mary J. Singleton buried in this cemetery is their daughter and 
that Robert Singleton, also buried here, is Mary Duke’s husband.  The cemetery 
is said to lie on Darling’s original homestead, perhaps inherited by Mary and 
her husband.
