The source for the marriage of John Alford and Emma Moore is "Ohio, Marriages, 1800-1958," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XDJC-3BC : accessed 30 Nov 2013), John M. Alford and Emma Moore, 20 Apr 1884.
The source for the death and burial information, along with an exact birthdate, comes from the death record of Emma Alford, wife of John Alford. The names of her parents are listed on this record. "Illinois Deaths and Stillbirths, 1916-1947," index, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N31W-F4Q : accessed 30 Nov 2013), Isaac Moore in entry for Emma Alford, 19 Jun 1932. There is a bit of contradictory information here. While all census records list her birth state as Ohio, this records lists her birthplace as as South Point, Indiana. Perhaps the informant got mixed up with South Point, Lawrence County, Ohio, where her family resided when she was a girl. Also this record lists her birth year as 5 Apr 1863 while the 1900 census lists her birthdate as April, 1862.
