Robert & Mary are buried on the original farm property they bought in Benton County, Arkansas in Sec.14, Twp.21, Rng.29, W5. Their house faced west & looked out over the valley that Little Sugar Creek flows through. Robert requested that he be buried beside a particular tree by the creek. His grave & Mary's had rocks for headstones which were moved into the creek bed sometime after Marvin & Leona Roller bought the land. There was a couple who were travelling south by horse & wagon that had camped nearby whose young child took sick & died while they were camped there. They received permission from the family to have their child buried beside Robert & Mary. It is believed that this was during the time that John Fosnet Potts owned the property.
This land was passed down through Robert's family until Marvin Roller's death in 1997.
