"Annie" Button>Melick>Lounsbury>Trimble," when spoken quickly is a familiar childhood rhyme ~ as familiar as Hickory, Dickory, Dock!  Annie Button was our Great Grandmother and when Great Grandfather died, Grandma married two more times!  Growing up we often recited dear Annie's five names.

Her tombstone is in the Melick Cemetery in Canborough, along with Great Grandfather who died twenty-four years earlier.

Perhaps part of the intrigue was the unfortunate error on Annie's tombstone.  The engraver spelt her name PUTTON instead of BUTTON.  Until he passed away in July, 2010, Annie's Grandson, Earl Melick, kept the "B" prominently hand-painted.  It falls to our generation to ensure that Annie>Button>Melick>Lounsbury>Trimble's name appears correctly on her tombstone. 

A caution for genealogists.  "Etched in stone?"  Not always! Click on photo for larger image.  Note,  handwritten "B"
