This is a photo of the burial site of Benjamin Hurt Baker, the large obelisk. Just to the left of Ben is a completely weathered-blank headstone, believed to be the grave of his wife Eliza Grier Baker. I found it toppled in 2011, restored it upright. There are several graves visible to the right of Ben Baker as well, also completely weathered-blank and it's not known if they are even related to Ben and Eliza; This cemetery had no extant burial records. But Eliza's obituary says she was buried "from" the Methodist Church of Crawford and this was the cemetery that the church used, her husband is here, seems clear that she would have to be here too.
