Don't remember if I told you that Sue Ikerd told me that the marker with Katheryn and Sealy Caffey on it has the wrong names on it. She said that Beulah "Bill"(MARONEY) had that stone made and who ever told her the names gave her the wrong ones. It is the maker of Thomas and Sarah Celia (Stokes) Caffey. It is on the east end of the cemetery on the last row. In Eureka Cemetary Webster Co. Missouri.
