By Contributor 50792601 on 22 Feb 2024: Research supports that there may be two legitimate Memorial ID's for Grace Pearl Gambill Collins Stapleton Hall. One would be this one for her burial in Lemay, St. Louis County, Missouri and the second is 73321602 with burial in Dubois County, Indiana. Follows is a reverse time-line which list research sources:

-Memorial ID 73321602 states in her bio that her third husband was Sidney Hall. I discovered that the St. Louis Post-Dispatch published a brief obituary on 22 Feb 1975, pg 54 for Grace Hall-Collins stating "Hall-Collins, Grace, (died) suddenly Fri., Feb. 21 1975, dear mother of Menlo Collins, Dolores Kraus, Lloyd Collins and the late Hazel Sargent....Interment Mt. Hope Cemetery...." Please note that the children named in this obituary are those found as children of James "Harley" Collins and Grace Gambill Collins. Not only can this be supported by Mem. ID 73321602, but these four children are also listed in the home of Harley and Grace on the 1920 Patoka Twp., Dubois County, Indiana Census.

Since her son, Lloyd, and daughter, Donna, would later be buried at Mount Hope Cemetery Mausoleum and Crematory it is understandable why she was laid to rest there.

-It is also stated on Grace's Memorial that she married Noah Elijah Stapleton. This marriage was published in The Huntingburg Independent (Huntingburg, Indiana) on 14 Sep 1928 and reads, "In a list of marriages performed at Boonville, Saturday Sept. 8, appeared the names of Noah E. Stapleton and Mrs. Grace Pearl Collins of Duff." Her first husband James "Harley" Collins died on 18 Apr 1927 in East St. Louis, St. Clair County, Illinois; however, he was buried in his hometown of Duff, Dubois County, Indiana. The 1930 Patoka Twp, Dubois County, Indiana Census lists Grace as the wife of Noah E. Stapleton which supports the idea that Grace returned to Indiana after the death of Harley. As I segue to her first husband, Harley, I believe that at some point after Noah passed away in 1941, Grace made the decision to return to Illinois/Missouri to be nearer to three of her children where she married Sidney Hall and spent the remainder of her life.

-Grace Pearl Gambill married James "Harley" Collins on 27 Oct 1908 which is documented on page 581 in the Indiana, US Marriages 1810-2001. She and Harley had five children some of whom are linked to her Memorial ID 73321602 where she shares his headstone. I have been unable to locate any information regarding their son, Raymond, mentioned in her bio; however, I am inferring that he was probably born around 1914 and died as an infant or young child since he does not appear on the 1910, 1920, or 1930 Federal Census.

As a final comment, if Grace was cremated, I believe that it is quite possible that her surviving children may have wanted her buried nearer to them in Missouri and Illinois, and may have also buried some of her ashes with their father and near to their brother, Menlo, who resided in Evansville, Indiana at the time.
