__________________________________
~At the time of her death in 1917, Daphene's paternal aunt by marriage, Emma V. [Knapp] Myers (her husband was Dan R. Myers...brother of Daphene's dad, Sylvester Myers) had a sister living w/ her family in Bishop, Tx. Their names were Mary E. "Mamie" [Knapp] Lindsey & Emmett Wade Lindsey.

The informant's signature on Daphene's death certificate was an "E.W. Lindsey" & her death certificate says she was buried in the 'Bishop Cemetery'.

—————————

*NOTE #1: In 1917, 'Restland Memory Park' wasn't established yet. But in April of 1920, several bodies were moved from the older 'Bishop Cemetery #1' (now called 'St. James Catholic Cemetery') to the new 'Bishop Cemetery #2' (now called 'Restland Memory Park'). I don't know which cemetery she's actually at. I've never seen or found a headstone w/ her name, so it's either unmarked and/or lost.

*NOTE #2: E.W. Lindsey & Mamie [Knapp] Lindsey are my great-grandparents, and Emma [Knapp] Myers is my great x2 aunt.

***UPDATE***

-Nov. 20, 2017: My sincere thanks to Mrs. Nancy Smith of the Bishop Cemetery Association's Board of Directors for her help in letting me know that Daphene Myers was NOT buried @ Restland Memory Park. (According to Restland's map/info, she is NOT buried there; nor was she one of the 24 bodies moved in 1920.) Therefore, she's buried somewhere at St. James Cemetery (aka Bishop Cemetery #1)

Gravesite Details

St. James Catholic Cemetery (aka Bishop Cemetery #1) was the original "city" cemetery for Bishop prior to April of 1920.
