    3. Matt, I have always heard that it was Narcissus Smalley but on her headstone it is spelled Narcissa. She is buried in Flynn Cemetery in AR. I believe it is near Humphrey which straddles two counties Jefferson and Arkansas but the cemetery according to someone I asked is in Lonoke Co. My cousins Inez Duffel Brooks and Elner Hartsfield Crisp took me out there. I would like to go back but there is no way I could find it by myself. We went down a lot of country roads and it is in the woods. Her son Daniel Kornegay is buried there: Nov. 12, 1877 - Feb 15 1948. Also her daughter Ann who married William Boch. I asked why she was buried in Flynn Cemetery and her husband was buried in Smalley Cemetery. I was told that she had gone to visit relatives and she got sick while she was there and died. I also wonder why my grandmother Florence Reeves was buried in Connell Cemetery and not in the family cemetery which is Smalley Cemetery. I found only one headstone in Connell last year. It is overgrown in weeds. There is no marker for my grandmother. I don't know if she ever had one. I was told that someone wanted to farm that area so he removed the stones and was plowing the ground until someone made him stop. I heard the other side of the story last year at the family reunion. I was told he didn't realize there were graves there because it was grown up. Please critque what I sent earlier. Thanks, Sandy
