Apparently there is no marker for the grave as there is no record of one and such could not be found. One of her sisters, simply shown as “infant” in the cemetery records, is also buried there but there is not a record for the third sister who died in Sherman.

Note from Susan

In 1960, this Bible was in the hands of Elizabeth Boone in Corpus Christi, Texas, when my aunt persuaded her to allow copies to be made. Elizabeth was the daughter of Gordon Boone and Emma Shrewsbury, who was the daughter of Martha Leonard Barlow and Simeon Shrewsbury. Martha Leonard Barlow was one of the daughters of Alonzo D. Barlow. Elizabeth Boone never married, and when she died about 20 years ago, I suppose she left things to her sister, Katherine Boone Harrison, who might also be dead by this time, and I don't have any clue where her heirs may be or who might really have the Bible.
