Joseph Shaw is buried there
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/66392754/joseph-shaw

but familySearch says he died in the District of Columbia, 18 January 1920.
The DC death records are available at a Family History Center.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:F7TY-H73

Someone who has contributed to the tree on familySearch is aware of the record, but his information does not include his mother's name.
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/sources/G6V1-KB8

The Washington Post of January 20, 1920, says he died the 18th at the residence of his daughter, Mrs T.B. Hedekln (?) and would be buried at Ft Dodge, Iowa.

edited: The company is not listed in the 1947 Lakeland City Directory.
It is listed, just not in bold like in 1950, which is why I missed it first time around.
and not as many officers listed.

Florida Favorite Fertilizer Inc
Wm H Stuart Pres, Eric F Murray Mgr,

Shellyesq - maybe looking for coincidences here, and I'm really not familiar with USA marriage certificates... On the marriage certificate halfway down is the certification signing etc. There it has Ada Robinson Emma Smith and the word 'companed'?. Does anyone know what this means or who this person could have been or been recorded for? Am wondering if this could have been her sister? Am I putting 2+2 together and coming up with 5 or is this a realistic possibility?

Ada Robinson is not Ada Annie Wilson.

Newspapers.com marriage index
Ada H Brown, 22, married Martin S Robinson in Santa Ana about 1926

1930 Census, Santa Ana
Ana H Robinson, 26, lodger/head, married (but not with her husband), born in Colorado, father in Illinois, mother in Louisiana, typist, county court house

I am now having doubts that James F Reilly is the right person.  I have his death as 11 December 1889 not 1892 and have no record of him having a middle name initial being F
a lot of people didn't know when they were born. or information on later records were provided by someone else.
The informant on his death record was his sister. How many James Reillys in Cincinnati had a sister named Mrs Eli Franks?
He might have added the initial when he got to America to distinguish himself from half a dozen other James Rileys in whatever city he landed in.
