When P. D. Huff, Sr., ordered Ora's tombstone, he gave the wrong date of birth. It should have read 1889 rather than 1890.
The following announcement appeared in the "Eagle," a local newspaper regarding the elopement of Ora Steward and Phineas D. Huff: "Mr. P.D. Huff and Miss Ora Steward, the beautiful and popular daughter of Sheriff L. J. Steward, were married at Devall's Bluff last Friday. The event was rather unexpected and quite a surprise to many of the bride's friends here. Mr. Huff was raised in White County, where he has many friends, but for some years has been in business in Little Rock. The "Eagle" wishes the new made pair much happiness in their journey through life."
The following obituary of Ora appeared in the White Co., AR, newspaper following her death on 20 May 1936:
