It has been recorded that her husband, Peleg Saunders COTTRELL, died in Cortland County, New York. But we find that is in error ... evidently news of his death was placed in the church's records in Scott, Cortland County, New York.

The March 14, 1872 issue of the Seventh Day Baptist Sabbath Recorder, Vol 28, No 12 has the following article: "At Danville, (Hendricks County), Ind, March 1, 1872 Peleg Saunders Cottrell of typhoid fever. He was born January 29, 1800 and was long a member of the Seventh Day Baptist Church at Scott, Cortland County, New York." (Source: SDB-L)

Mary Jane SMALL COTTRELL died 31 Aug 1862 and is buried in the Saunders Cemetery, Delaware County, Indiana. This cemetery is located in Salem Township. It is also called Daleville Cemetery, located 2 miles east of Daleville. There is no tombstone.

Her obituary in the Seventh Day Baptist Sabbath Recorder of 25 Sep 1862, Vol 18, No 21, page 155 reads as follows: "Cottrell - at Daleville, Delaware County, Indiana, August 31, 1862 of congestive fever, Mrs. Mary Jane Cottrell, wife of Peleg S. Cottrell, formerly of Scott, NY aged 51 years. She was a devoted Christian, a conscientious Sabbath-keeper and died in the triumph of faith." (source: SDB-L)
