New Harmony Cemetery contains some KESTER and related surnames of LEE and HARLAN. Codelia Kester married William S Lee on Oct 16, 1862. Her daughter, Myrta A Lee, married Delta B Kester, (the son of William Noble Kester), who was Cordelia's uncle. Ephraim B Kester's daughter from his 3rd wife (Anna Pratt) is buried here with her husband Otto Harlan. I have photos of three other stones that I am trying to identify relationships and will post here in the future.
