An article about the Smith-Davis Cemetery, "Duo working to rescue local pioneer cemetery" by Frank Haight publish in The Examiner, 15 August 2013, summarizes research about the cemetery by area historians Jim Beckner and Vickie Beck.
"[I]n 1933, one large grave marker was found in the cemetery when the Daughters of the American Revolution visited the site to take a reading of the remaining stones.
'That was the only stone there in 1933', Jim says, noting the monument was removed for safekeeping. Now the property of the Jackson County Historical Society, the icon is now safely secured at Missouri Town 1855."
This was the gravestone of Sally Landers. A photo of the gravestone can be seen in the article.
