Inscription

Apparently the top portion of Aaron's marker was found broken off & laying in a ditch close to the road about 1984 & it was put back with the bottom portion of his marker by Robert Duane Gaines (but is missing again in 2016). Aarons remaining marker/grave is to the left of his sons markers as you face & can read Kemp's marker.
