Marthzan Duke
wife of 
H.N. Duke
Died
Jan. 10, 1836 or 1886 (but most proably 1876)
Age 46 years

Additional Comments:
It (the stone) actually reads Marthzan Duke, Wife of H.N. Duke, Died Jan. 10, 
1886, Age 46 Years. Her name is Martha and maiden name was Zann. I have 
researched it. The date and age on her stone are somewhat in question. The 
1860 and 1870 census's suggest that if she was 46 at death, the date could 
have been 1876. The old Duke Cem. listing on GenWeb says the death date on 
Martha's stone is 1836, but I can see where an 8 could look like a 3 on a 
dirty stone. I'd go with the 1876 date because she was on the 1870 and not the 
1880 census with H.N. the old listing also says 4 unmarked graves, but they 
are marked with the same kind of rocks as in the (Archibald) Hill Cemetery.
