Update. In 2019, the Brush & Palette Club corrected some information on this memorial.
It now says:
In memory of the early travelers who perished in the explosion of the Steamboat Big Hatchie on July 23, 1845. Those buried here in unmarked graves and those whose bodies were never recovered from the waters of the Missouri River.
I am looking for research information to support this date of 1845 to add to this memorial.
