Loretta sent: The Oakhill Cemetery online database cites the grave location as Amphitheater Lot 54 East and that's where I found the grave this morning.
I just posted a photo to this memorial, and I feel I owe you an apology. I tried several times, unsuccessfully, to get a good shot of the tombstone. But the tombstone is located in a very shady spot. The stone is worn and covered with moss and I just couldn't get a good shot.
