Marriage Notes:
Both Nelson and Cecile most likely died in or around Lakeville, IN and are probably buried in the Lakeville Cemetery where Nelson's parents and several of his siblings were buried. Records from this somewhat rural cemetery are incomplete, missing, and inaccurate. As of 2013, volunteers have located and documented all the visible Lightfoot gravestones but the names of Nelson or Cecile are not on those lists. Either they were buried without any visible markers or they were buried in a different, yet undisclosed location.
