Octavia was the last person buried in this cemetery. Her large tombstone was standing in 1967 but sometime prior to 1991 it had fallen with the inscription buried in the ground. At one time cows were allowed to graze in the cemetery and they may be responsible for toppling the stone. The only known photo showing the inscription was taken in 1967 and this photo is fuzzy and hard to read.

"We managed to get Octavia Kendrick stone up and leaning on her base." They have posted a photo of the inscription.
