Note:
Lucille Kidd was cremated and her ashes spread in the Rocky Mountains, however with the permission of the Oak Hill cemetery association, a small metal marker to honor her memory was later placed by members of her family in the lot where her parents, Wilbur and Stella Phelps were buried (Block 3-Lot 16). Over time, the metal marker has gone missing, but she is still listed in the cemetery records as once having had a memorial marker in this lot.
