Find A Grave photo volunteer shared this: I found the grave location between the stones of Wallace and Davis and confirmed that no stone exists. There are also some adjacent unmarked graves between Wallace and Davis. You should know that there are two graves indicated, one for Bill Clary and one for William Clary. They are one grave apart with an empty grave between according to the cemetery records.
