This is the headstone over the grave of my great-great- grandfather, Reuben Garnett Waggener (1797-1884). In is on the property that used to be the family farm near Rush Tower, Jefferson County Missouri. There is a small graveyard there on the property, and Reuben is buried there with two of his children who died there young, Richard (1842-1852) and Reuben Jr. (1845-1846). The photo was sent to my by Oliver Hayes, the current owner of the property. Mr. Hayes reported that this headstone was placed there relatively recently by the England family.
