Familysearch.org is a free site and is not connected to Ancestry.com. If you click on the link that Sandra included, it should show you the information unless there is something wrong with your computer.

oh ty Genealiza I didn't even where to check I tried under find a grave but she was under a different name is there anyway I can find if susan and james divorced or what happened
-
I think Elizabeth (Jay) Welsh is her sister-in-law. There is nothing to indicate a divorce, is there? They are together for the 1885 Iowa State Census. James may have headed west after Susan's death.
-
I get you now she was prob buried with her sister in law and that's why I couldn't bring her up is because her Elizabeth name is first . is there anyway to move that pic over to susan obit so it shows both on finding a grave
-
I would send an edit to the manager of the memorial, stating that Susan Jay is Susan Berry Jay, not Susan Jay Welsh. The picture is already with the memorial for Susan Jay "Welsh".
HOWEVER, before you do that, I would want to make sure that Elizabeth Welsh is indeed Elizabeth Jay Welch, the daughter of Jos. and Sarah Jay, from the 1880 census.

the 1885 Iowa State Census has Lizzie Welsh and her 2 sons still living with her parents:
