Thanks to the Blackwells, who searched the cemetery for a marker for Rebecca and found none. They did find one for Rebecca Mazona Morgan 1843-1923. While the given names and dates are quite similar, they are not the same person.

Thanks to Jack Lewis # 47567805 for providing link to Rebecca's father, and DOD information for her mother.

Oct 2013: NO MARKER FOUOND. Volunteer photographer wrote:
"I walked the entire cemetery as well as St. Johns cemetery next to it and didn't find a stone for this person. Found the stone for her husband, and the opposite side of the stone was the same as his with the word Hope on the top. There was no inscription on the west side of the stone. If she is buried in this cemetery, there is no stone for her. There is another stone next to this one for "Little Riley", so she should have been buried near these two stones."
