Thanks for the correct name for George Gill. The transcribed marriage record I have says C. A. Gill instead of G. A.
I don't know exactly when Leeana died, but with the dates you have and the dates I have, I've narrowed it down to sometime between mid-1894 to mid-1896. Since there were children, her death likely generated some sort of legal records in addition to any left by John Shine.
I don't know Leeana's parent's names, but there was an Abernathy family living next door to John and Leeana in Bell Co in 1880. The census film is extremely hard to read, but the index lists the head of household as Stanton Abernathy. His age on the film is 58, that was pretty clear, but place of birth of him and his parents was very faint. Might be Tn, Ky, & Ky, but maybe not. Wife is Sarah E., 45, b. AL, father b. FL (?), mother b. GA. There are 3 children: Telford (?), male, age 8, b. TX, Hilery, male, age 7, TX, and A??? (maybe Amos??), age 6, TX. Leeana gave parent's places of birth as Fl & Ga, same as Sarah. I'm pretty sure these people wre related, but whether or not Stanford was her father or an uncle or possibly even an older brother, I haven't a clue.
I find it very interesting that George Shine married a woman named Lena Pearl. Wonder if her mother was a sister of Leeana? Leeana could be misspelling of Lena and Leeana named her daughter Lillie Pearl. Somewhat unusual names. Probably worth at least keeping in mind the similarities in names.
Thanks for offering to check for a will/probate for John Shine. Do you live in central Texas area? My Shine branch came from Belton to Dallas and I still have family there, though I live in Louisiana now.
One other thought on the owner of the cemetery lot---I have seen where some places issued actual deeds to cemetery plots, which give the date and purchase price. Maybe they did this in Texas, too?
