As of April 2014 this plot (4 M 35 3rd East) held six graves, from left to right:
1. John M Meeks (1872-1933),
2. Ruth Hall Meeks (1885-1977),
3. C. H. Williams (?-?),
4. Adult Williams (?) (?-?)
5. Kathryn Williams (1951-2005), and,
6. Allen Ray Williams (1929-1991).

The graves of Adult Williams (?) (?-?) and Kathryn Williams (1951-2005) are both adult-sized slabs that have no apparent inscriptions and, as of April 2014, no funeral home or other markers. The 2006 survey cited below gives the name and years for Kathryn Williams; there was likely a funeral home marker on the grave in 2006. I cannot be certain which of the two graves without an inscription is for Adult Williams (?) (?-?) and which is for Kathryn Williams (1951-2005,) but the one next to Allen Ray Williams (1929-1991) looks like the newer of the two graves so I am guessing that it is the grave of Kathryn Williams.
