The following obituaries indicate that he was buried at Hillcrest Cementery in Fulton, MO. However, the photo of his tombstone indicates that he is buried with his wife at the Montgomery City Cemetery with his wife. Perhaps he was buried first at Fulton, and then moved when his wife died 30 years later.

Montgomery Standard Montgomery City, MO DOD - Aug. 7, 1897

Z. R. Kidwell died at his residence in this city Saturday night about 9:45 o'clock, after an illness of several months, aged about 53 years. He suffered intensely, and for some months he used a cane to aid in walking, on account of pain supposed to be rheumatism in one of his limbs. He visited Hot Springs in Arkansas but obtained no relief, and finally was confined to the house, where he lingered several months, his condition being such that he could take not nourishment, and died from exhaustion.

He united with the Methodist church when he was 18 years of age, and married Miss Lucy Dyson in 1869. He grew up in Callaway county, and was a soldier in Price's army, serving in the confederacy until the surrender in ‘65. He was one of the best men in the community in every way, and his genial presence will be missed by everybody. Services were held at the Methodist church, Monday where Revs. A. F. Smith and J. E. McGee delivered most appropriate discourses, speaking highly of the Christian character and worth of the deceased, and portraying feelingly the respect in which he was held by his neighbors and friends. The house was filled with sympathizing friends, all of whom endorsed the sentiments so well expressed by the ministers.

The body was taken to Fulton for interment Monday, and laid beside his parents and two children buried there. The funeral cortege was met at the depot by a large number thus attesting the esteem in which he was held by his old Callaway neighbors.

He leaves wife and five children, Clarence in St. Louis, Floyd, Misses Lela, Bettie and Erna at home; and two brothers in Callaway and six sisters, Mrs. Jas. McCue, Mrs. Lillie Adams, Mrs. Rebecca Yates, Mrs. Mollie Gilbert, Mrs. Rose Yates of Callaway and Mrs. E. Hunter of New Florence to cherish his memory. May the good Lord be kind to them in their great sorrow.
