Ada, the daughter of Jesse Robert McGee and Martha "Mattie" E. Waggoner, was the second wife of Benjamin Franklin Sullivan, son of John Henry "Gramp" Sullivan and Mildred "Milda" Caledonia Faulkner.
Uncle Ben and Ada had at least five children, all of whom either died as infants or were stillborn/premature.
Death certificates, obituaries, and family information indicate they are all buried here near Uncle Ben's old home and not, as is incorrectly listed elsewhere, in Boonshill or Colter cemeteries.
Ben's family related that they tried to relocate Ada's remains (as well as those of Mollie, his first wife) once Uncle Ben was buried in Booneville Cemetery, but by that time it was physically impossible to do so.
Ada's is one of the few burials in this cemetery with a "true," identifiable marker; most are headstones.
