Comment by Linda Jean Limes
Ellis: Eliza “Simes” – Her
married name was incorrectly spelled with an “S”when it should have been an "L" for Limes. Eliza Limes was married to
Harrison Limes. Harrison and Eliza Aber Limes are buried at the Cochran Cemetery in Perry Township,
Fayette County, Ohio.
Harrison Limes’ parents were William and Athaliah Doster Limes. William Limes
was an older brother to Henry Limes buried at Sheep Pen Cemetery. Thus, Henry Limes was an uncle to Harrison
Limes who was Eliza Aber’s husband.
