Inscriptions states she is buried with her infant babe in her arms.

Obituary received from Findagrave.com - Kathryn McKillip Thrift - 47214268. 1/20/2016
On yesterday evening between one and two o'clock the last remains of Sister Victor Ordelia Cone, wife of E. B. Cone. were consigned to their lone grave home until the resurrection. She lived in North Alabama but was on a visit to her father and mother, Bro. Hiram Courtney and wife, of this county. I was called upon to be present and make some remarks. I did so, but think, just six years ago yesterday evening, she and her husband stood before me and I pronounced them husband and wife. How uncertain are human affairs! I will not attempt to tell of her virtues. A large concourse of relatives, brethren, sisters and friends spoke her worth in language mournful but easily understood.
