LEFORS, Joe - Joe Lefors, a son of Green Lefors and nephew of Henry and Col Lefors, who lived at Mason Valley but was temporarily at his Uncle Col's, committed the rash act of taking his own life by jumping into his uncle's well on Thursday night of last week. Joe was a young man of good moral habits and in every way worthy. For some time he had been indisposed but it was not thought to be of a serious nature. He was about 30 years old and was supposed to be in his prime and enjoying the sweets of life and the reason for committing the rash act cannot be accounted for. He leaves two sisters and a host of relatives to mourn his untimely end. He was interred in the Douglas burying ground on Friday.[Gentry Journal-Advance - Gentry, Benton County, Arkansas -

*************
I'm assuming since some kids are buried here, including Joseph, parents probably are too. I did pic request & people couldn't find any of them - parents or Joseph. Please note if he's there then he has no stone.
They did say there was several broken stones & field rocks.
