He is supposed to have a large monument on his grave but I cant find where he is buried I have been there and looked in as meany grave yards as I can but no luck that's my major project I did see a picture of it but the man who had it was gathering information for the show little house on the prairie and wouldn't say where it was located.Then thay made a move called the newton boys and that was it I couldn't get the information any more. If we could find the grave marker we might get some information on her hope it helps some I know its not much. Take care George
