Tombstone Tuesday: Quincy and Susan Darling

J. Quincy and Susan (Wilson) Darling
Glen Cove Cemetry, Knightstown, Indiana

John Quincy Darling was the son of Samuel and Beulah (Smith) Darling, my maternal great, great grandparents. Quincy married Susan A. Wilson on April 1, 1896 in Rush Co., Indiana. Susan was the daughter of John J. and Margaret (Sloan) Wilson. 

While their marriage was the first for Quincy, it was Susan's third marriage and the only one that did not end in divorce. She was first married to Jasper N. Kirkpatrick in 1877 with whom she had a daughter, Leila N. Kirkpatrick. Susan's second marriage was to Henry Theodore Schobert in 1885 with whom she had two sons, John William Schobert and Charles Oscar Schobert (Mayor of Hammond, Indiana 1930-1935).

Quincy and Susan were married 45 years before Susan died. They had no children together. Both are buried in Glen Cove Cemetery in Knightstown, Henry Co., Indiana.
