Note: there are four names placed in this concrete slab with marbles. I don't know if they are interred here or were living in the area when the slab was poured on 07 Oct 1947. These names are: Anna, Alverado, Mars, Thomas.

Note: Amanda Bell remarried on 21 Mar 1866 in Pope Co. Bk D page 121 to Thomas S. FAUCETT. His name was spelled FOSSETT in the marriage book. Amanda and Thomas S. FAUCETT are interred in Atkins City Cemetery.
