Christina Liming, born Sep 29, 1855 in Illinois, and died Sep 20, 1879 in Dresden, Texas. Randy Davis and Tom Smith think the inscription on her grave is in error on her year of birth, it is probably 1853. Her younger sister Elizabeth E Liming was born in 1855. Christina married John Barton Davis, 29 Sep 1868 in Morgan County Illinois. She was daughter of Samual Liming and Mary J. Augustin.

The inscription reads
CHRISTINA A.
Wife of
J. B. DAVIS
BORN

Davis died Aug 20, 1879 died a month before his mom and along with Lona Leon and Chrtistina were buried together. Lona Leon Davis was born Jul 19, 1871 and Died Nov 1, 1879 right after his mom passed away. Their grave is under a large shade tree in Dresden Cemetery.
