I looked at the 1910 and 1900 census records for J. A. Edwards in Boone Co AR and this what I found: 1) N. A. (Nan) was Nancy Adaline--the second wife of John A. Edwards. The 1910 census asks for the number of times people had been married and for John it was twice and for Nancy it was once and they had been married 40 years. Nancy, at the time of the 1910 census, was listed as having had two children with one living. In 1900 the figures were two children born and two living. In 1900 she was listed as Adaline while in 1910 her name was listed as Nancy A. 2) I have no idea what "RF" means. Good luck with your researching. >http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.arkansas.counties.boone/2529/mb.ashx > >Message Board Post: > >I found these on the Boone GenWeb site's online cemeteries for >Valley Springs Cemetery.
