William and Carrie Raschka, the "merchant of Ainsworth" and his Chesterian wife, whose relatives once owned my property.

I tried to brush the moss off Carrie's name, but I just made it worse.
Members of the Ream family:
Arnold Ream, the young man killed by lightning.
Arvin Ream, his uncle.
John Ream, his grandfather (I believe) and the diligent taxpayer of Porter County.
The gravestone is so worn that you can scarcely read his name. I think I can make out the birth year, 1821, but the rest is illegible. To the left and right of this monument are smaller stones, "Wife" and "Husband," so presumably John's wife is buried there as well, but if her name was ever on the stone, time and weather have erased it.
