Three Woodmen of the World tombstones in the Mahanay/Mahaney family plot catch the eye not for the number of tombstones, but for a visual mystery: The tombstones sport different spellings of the family name.
Could this be another case of spouses not being able to agree on ANYTHING, did somebody at the engraver mess up BIG TIME (TWICE), Or is it that the family disagreed on how their own name should be spelled?
Nearby tombstones for the family's children fail to clear up the mystery.
From left to right in this family plot:
