Minerva died in Boone County, AR in 1927 and is buied in Hopewell Cemetery according to records of the very creditable "Casey Family Association". However, inventory of Hopewell Cemetery markers shows no headstone for Minerva or Joseph Richard Stephens.
This is likely explained because after Minerva died, her husbsnd went to live at the Boone County Poor Farm where he died about 1931. He did not have the money and was likely physically incapable to see that Minerva had a proper headstone.
