She may also be knowledgeable about gravestone suppliers in the area, and you can start calling them and hope to get lucky and find the one who supplied the stone--and they may tell you who paid for it. There is also a funeral home in Walthill and they may sell gravestones. They do not have old records. I needed a 1944 record, and that was too old. I have no idea when their records start.

Moses Carson ORR's headstone is in front of Mahala's. In the picture I have, a GAR star shaped marker with "GAR 1861 1865" is next to Moses' headstone. The "Informast" signature on Mahala's death certificate was "md Orr" (probably Moses Dallas ORR). Her cause of death was cancer.

Where exactly was Mahala buried? The James Rave Cemetery (Catholic) west of Winnebago, or the Tribal cemetery at the Agency east of Winnebago? Or Evergreen in Walthill, or Omadi Cemetery south of Homer?I'm sure there are others but those are the closest to Winnebago. If you know I'll try to find out who purchased the headstone.
