Thanks to Dave & Kristi Bruner for searching for gravestone that does not seem to exist. "... searched the Medill Cemetery this summer with my husband as I have ancestors buried there. We took a weed-eater & walked the cemetery photographing each stone. There were a few illegible ones but we did not find one for Martin, nor was he listed on a Clark County Cemetery Inscription book published in 1971.
Reuben & Sally (Sarah) are here with daughters Clarrie and Nettie."
