I'm looking for either obituary or cemetary information on my ggg aunt Mary Duncan, who married Lilburn Smith.

I've traced her to Elk or Coffey County, Kansas through the following census records:

1860 Washington Co Virginia Census, Western District, p292
Emanuel Smith 42 Farmer Va
Eliza 38 Housekeeper Va
William 16 Farmer Va
Lilburn 14 Va
Emanuel 11 Va
Connally 9 Va
Archimides 7 Va
Thomas 4 Va
Eliza 3 Va

1870 Coffee County Kansas Census, Ottumwa Township, Page 6
Lilburn Smith 23 Farmer Virginia
Mary 22 Keeping House Virginia
Henry 1/12 At Home Iowa
They must have been in Iowa in 1869 or early 1870.

// His brother Archimides?
1880 Elk County Kansas, Greenfield, Page 6
Smith, A.D. 26 Farmer Virginia
Mary J. 21 Wife Keep House Indiana
Smith, Emanual 63 Farmer Virginia
Eliza A. 58 Wife Housekeeper Virginia

1880 Elk County Kansas, Greenfield District 79, Page 15
Birth Father's Birth Mother's Birth
-------------- --------------------- -----------------------
Rule, P.G. 56 Physican Missouri Kentucky Kentucky
Francis 49 Keeps House Missouri Virginia Kentucky
Smith, L.H. 32 Merchant Virginia Virginia Virginia
Ida J. 17 Wife Keeps House Missouri Missouri Missouri
Emanuel 8 Son Illinois Virginia Virginia
Danael 5 Son Kansas Virginia Virginia
William 1 Son Kansas Virginia Virginia

If this is the correct family, then it looks like Mary died around 1879 in Elk County, Kansas.
Their son William was 1 years old in 1880, and Lilburn has remarried to Ida J.

1900 Grant County Oklahoma Census, Salt Fork Township, Sheet 6B
Smith, Lilburn H. Head May 1848 Virginia
Archmidi Brother June 1855 Virginia
Mary Sister in law May 1857 Illinois
Lula Daughter Apr 1882 Kansas
Charles H. Son Sep 1885 Kansas
Baby Son Feb 1899 Oklahoma

Looks like Ida J. Passed away in 1899.

Any information would be appreciated.
