Willie Van Every - May 1, 1866 - May 4, 1866 (3 days)

Naomi Van Every - Apr 13, 1875 - June 1885 (10 years)

Lubie Van Every - May 2, 1883 - 1883 (less than a year)

Wilmina - 1882 - 1887 (* 5 years)

Melvin - 1888-1889 (** 1 year)

(*) Despite the tombstone, the 'Return of Death' record on FamilySearch says she lived from 1867-1872. This is also 5 years.
(**) Samuel's son Melvin Elijah Van Every (my great grandfather) lived from 1863-1929. This might be Melvin's son Melvin Theodore, who according to a Family Record sheet, lived from May 15, 1898 - May 11, 1899. Or it could be the son of another one of Samuel's children.
It's possible both Melvin and Wilmina's tombstones are replacements, and the original stones were illegible when the replacements were made.
