My great-grandmother went by the name Docia. She was the eldest of seven children of Henry W. Peters and Mary Magdalena Montgomery, who both came to Indiana from Franklin County, Virginia. Her parents are buried in the Whitehead (Maple Grove) Cemetery. She married Samuel E. Whitehead in about 1893 or '94, by whom she had four children, Merl (1895), Cecil (1897), Russell (1901) and Harold (1903).
Samuel, next to whom she is buried, predeceased her by 20 years. Her boys continued to run the family farm until they were older and ready to start their own families. Russell remained on the farm, buying out his siblings' shares. Docia continued to live on the farm for awhile, but eventually remarried to Jess Metz in 1938. Jess is buried in Kansas.
The Whitehead Farm remains in the family as an Indiana centennial farm. It is owned by her grandson, Dick and has been farmed by six generations of Whiteheads. Docia died of complications of mouth cancer, related to a injuries from poorly fitting dentures. Solomon Creek Cemetery is located just a mile and a half down the road from Docia's farm.
