She remarried a man named Case and she is buried next to Samuel. Her headstone reads S. Alice Case. There were also several babies that said son or daughter of William and Sarah buried there. Samuel and Sarah Markel had I believe 6 children (1 girl and 5 boys). My grandmother was the girl (Lillie May Markel), born May 29, 1885 in Codorus Township, York County, Pa, baptized by Reverend Ketterman on July 12, 19=885.
