The obituary in the Interior Journal states that the remains of Mr. Farris were interred in the "family burying ground." This COULD be the "Collier Family Cemetery" noted here: http://sites.rootsweb.com/~kylinco2/cemeteries/collier.htm

Died at 10 o'clock P.M. on the 17th inst., H. W. Farris, an old and highly esteemed citizen. He was for years an honored member of the county court. He had been confined to his room and most of the time to his bed for several months of heart disease and although his death has been almost daily expected, it was still a great shock to his family. He was sitting up in bed talking with his family in a very cheerful manner, when his heart refused longer to perform its function and without a moments warning his spirit was ushered into the presence of the God who gave it. When we say that he was one of the kindest of neighbors, truest, best of friends and most indulgent husband and father, we speak from our personal knowledge. His remains were interred in the family burying-ground, witnessed by a large crowd of friends and relatives. We extend to his aged and bereaved widow our heart felt sympathy.

..... Kentucky's thoroughbreds run on other ground, and the once gay track of Crab Orchard, now, never feels the shock of the flying courser's feet. It was owned formerly by Mr. Henry Farris, but I understand has lately been sold to Col. J. W. Guest. A little money mixed with that noted turfman's influence may make it what it was once.
