The settlement allots $20.00 for a tomb stone and other funeral expenses. That leads me to believe William had a marker on his grave, not just a rock. I wouldn't believe his family would have paid $20.00 for just a rock. Being 170 years old, the tomb stone is probably very worn. Does anyone have any idea where the grave could be. I'm guessing its probably on Thompson Creek.
