June 21, 2012 note from Tspoone, "I searched the entire cemetery and could not find the grave. I could not physically find a marker for this grave. Per Gibson County archives transcribed in 2002, there was a partial stone for the last name James (first name too damaged to read) with the dates 1852-1937, Mother Nancy 1862-1930. That stone is no longer visible in this cemetery."
