Located at Mount Vernon City Cemetery in Mount Vernon, MO.
This is a very nice well maintained plot with obviously two people buried here. Why is it only one has a name attached to it?
I looked all over for a name to attach to the second grave but there was nothing to find.
James R Martin

I am gonna go out on a limb and say my best guess is the second person in this plot is his wife who was Paulina (spelled Paulina, Pulina and Pulinia on the census records) Martin who shows up on Census records with him.

This is why it sucks to die last. No one left to leave a marker.
