    County, PA, died March 7, 1918 in Earl Township. As you know he is buried in
    the cemetery of the Pequea Presbyterian Church on Cambridge Road, Salisbury
    Township, Lancaster County, PA. He is buried with his second wife, Sarah Ann
    Martin (1853-1921) and a man by the name of Solomon Martin, possibly Sarah's
    father or a very old first husband based on dates of 1834-1890. Sarah
    possibly saved some $$ by having Thomas buried in the same plot as Solomon.

    The headstone has Solomon Martin at the top, followed by Thomas and then by
    Sarah. It is relatively easy to find: enter the cemetery on the road nearest
    the sharp curve of Cambridge Road going south. It is to the right (west) up
    the slight hill about 20 feet off the cemetery road. A large tree is south
    of it near the cemetery road.
