Is wife Clarissa d 1906 buried there also? Sometime post-1900 this family moved from Elk to Harper Co, briefly to MI then back to Harper, and were still there on 1930 census. Are their descendants still around? I've no luck finding local cemetery listings or other online help.

The Anthony Weeky Bulletin Harper County Friday March 26, 1897 Fatally Burned. Wednesday afternoon the little five-year-old daughter of Chas. BLYE was fatally burned. From one report we understand that Mrs. BLYE and the little girl raked the grass and leaves up during the early part of the afternoon and that Mrs. BLYE told the child that they would have a bonfire when papa came home in the evening. The child did not wait for papa but fired the trash and her clothing catching on fire she was hopelessly burned before her mother could reach her. Dr. CALLENDER was summoned and did everything possible to relieve the little sufferer and to save her life, but the shock to the nervous system was too great and the unequal struggle was ended at nine o'clock Thursday morning. The case is a specially sad one and the community in general as well as the neighbors and friends of Mr. and Mrs. BLYE deplore the severe loss. Mr. BLYE is section foreman on the Missouri Pacific and lives north of the depot, and Mrs. BLYE was assisted by the depot officials and the doctor was summoned by Wilber SLOOP who rode his wheel faster than he ever rode it before.

The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Thursday March 26, 1897 Burglars At Work. Anthony has been remarkably free from house breaking and petty thievery and we have been wont to think and speak lightly of our neighboring towns that have been less fortunate. Our good record was broken last Friday night and slightly fractured on Saturday night. Friday night in room occupied by Prof. M.S. BLAIR and family at the residence of J.S. FAIN just west of Anthony was entered by a burglar and Prof. BLAIR was relieved of his watch, pants and the money contained in his trousers. At E.G. MERRELL's they made two visits and finally succeeded in depriving Mr. MERRILL of an overcoat and other clothing. Saturday night F.H. HAMILTON and Mr. LEIGHT lost their harness by the same method, and other citizens report slight losses. Anthony citizens are pretty well supplied with shotgus and rifles and are proficient in the use of them and the chances are that if the depredations do not cease, some one's anatomy will attest the skill of their marksmanship. It is generally thought th! at the robber or robbers who visited BLAIR's and MERRELL's are residents from their knowledge of facts and surroundings and several are under suspicion. With the caution that is being exercised by our citizens it will hardly be safe for additional attempts in the burglary line.
