Inscription reads: "Wife of Overton." Nancy married Mark Overton Reavis on December 16, 1842 in Lafayette, Missouri. Her parents were Madison County, Kentucky natives: John Berry and Elizabeth (Betsy) Harris who are buried in the Brownsville Cemetery in Saline County, Missouri.
Note from Cynthia Farmer-Nold: The 1864 death year for Nancy Reavis predates the opening of Fairview Cemetery. Therefore this burial was either moved from another cemetery or the stone is a memorial stone. Another cemetery further south on Locust Street was closed and Fairview Cemetery opened, and some (but not all) burials were moved from that location. Her husband, Overton, was a very early settler in the area predating the platting of the town of Brownsville which was later renamed Sweet Springs. He obtained four patents for property in the area (Township 48 N, Range 23 W) in 1835.
