From Find a Grave:

Second wife of James Bland. This was previously one of 6 Wooden Markers no longer legible. These dates are from the records of Ida B. Kellam. Esther is suppose to be buried in this cemetery but has no marker according to the records of Ida Kellam.

Wife of James Buchanan Bland. (No evidence of "Buchanan" as his middle name. Unsure of where Find a Grave found this information.)
