s/o Provience Montz & Amanda CURREY. Drowned. this is supposed to be the first grave in Antioch. It was constructed something like the old caves which still exist in Missouri farm yards. The grave was heaped over with earth about 4 ft high and covered with large stones, by hearsay, to keep away the wolves. The following inscription: "I call on man for help; no help for me Answered by loose mirth and levity. I called on God for help; that help is given which sends me spheres of bliss in Heaven"
