So who are Elton's Parents? When was he born? These questions can be probably answered by a review of the 1900 and 1910 Federal Census of Yalobusha County, Beat 2.
In it we find George and Rose Stewart, who are buried in this cemetery. Listed with them is a son "Elna", born in March 1899 (1900 Census) and who is listed again as "Eltore" age 12, in the 1910 Census.
The 1910 Census listings are always difficult to read, no matter what the State so a lot of handwriting is open to interpretation. As for the 1900 Census it is very easy to read but with typical sloppy handwriting.
