The David Lindsay Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution had a grave marking ceremony of two of its late Daughters, Emmie Wilder McDonald and her mother, Ellie Stone Wilder, on Saturday, Feb. 3.

The families of these two women came to the Fourmile community in Shelby County before statehood and still have many relatives living in area.

Descendants of Wilder (1889-1959) and McDonald (1924-2017) attended the grave marking of their relatives by the David Lindsay Chapter, NSDAR.
