Obituary and Burial Permit for Edward Nixon (b 1803)

I was looking for Ohio sources to find any other records online that might include the Nixon family. I ended up finding an obit that they had included on the Monroe County Chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society. I confirms Edward's birthplace in Washington County, Pa; gives an exact birthdate not previously know; gives the year when he moved to Ohio which is confirmed by the census info; gives the year he moved to Indiana which I would not have known otherwise; tells what church he attended; the name of his son-in-law; where he was living when he died; where he was buried; and who he was survied by. All very exciting and valuable information.

I would like to confirm which daughter the son-in-law Calvin Butter married. Edward had 7 children listed in the 1850 census but only 6 were living at the time of his death. Who died and when?
