Since there is a record of her death in Massachusetts, this marker may memorialize Maria Merrick Bush rather than mark her final resting place. Also, the obituary of Daniel Brown Bush's second wife states they married before coming to Pittsfield, Illinois. It was Daniel Brown Bush's second wife, Adeline Geer, who came with him from Pittsfield, Massachusetts to settle Pittsfield, Illinois.
