      I am looking for the death date and burial place of Martha E. (Dickerson) Wells. She was born in July 1855 to Jno. W. and Harriet N. Dickerson (sometimes listed as Dickenson) in Pittsylvania Co. She married John James Wells on 19 Apr 1883. He was born 11 July 1855, died 29 May 1941 and is thought to be buried in the Matthew Clay Wells cemetery. Martha died between 1910 (on census) and 1920 (John James listed as widower living with daughter's family). I have most other dates on this family and am just looking for these two bits of information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
