Cemetery records show an R. Nuckols to be buried in the same section as a NUCKOLS CHILD, GEORGE NUCKOLS 1790-1864, Mary NUCKOLS, and a Mrs. NUCKOLS (Lucinda?). I obtained those photos. I did not find a Robert, even though an above-ground crypt sits within the plot with no markings. There is a small stone sitting on top of it which belongs to the child. The first name is illegible, but the middle name looks to read Walter or Waller. Below that, it appears to say aged 6 months. I mistook this to be the child's grave, even though it appeared quite large to belong to a child. I am now thinking Robert could be in the crypt with the child stone simply laying on top. I have this photo if you want to view it, but a crypt like this does not fit Robert's death date. It appears to be much older.

Robert Nuckols Sent To The Lunatic Asylum

For a long time at different times I have told you about a very devout Christian named Robert Nuckols about whose misdeeds the newspapers have had much to say. He has, for some time, been in jail for forgery. He has some how been sent to a lunatic asylum. Had he been without infuential friends and an infidel be would have been sent to the penetentiary.
