This slate stone marks the grave of Carl Odis Christian. It is located at the northwest corner of the beginning of Section 2 South. It is immediately to the north of the Rachel Moore stone.
We have passed this stone for many years and never saw anything written on it even though we've looked it over closely and taken various photos of it. Then on Nov. 30, 2011 as we drove by the stone, the sun was shining just right to draw our attention to a handwritten inscription on the stone which says:
Carl Odis Christian
Born December 1935
Died January 1936
And.......then on March 30, 2014, we came across the following obit confirming the identity of this individual even more:
