6. Sometime in the 1980's, I, Larry E. Smith, located Reuben's grave on Mulberry Creek just up stream of
the Mountain View Road bridge in the bottom pasture land. There was a small knoll that had a grove of
small trees; in this pasture. There were several gravestones. Unfortunately I did not write down their
inscriptions. When I returned somewhere in the 1990's, cattle had been allowed to trample the
gravesites and the gravestones were either carried off on under the surface of the ground. They could
no longer be located. The location is approximately Latitude 36 deg 13 min 10,52 sec N Longitude
