There are some graves that you can walk past and share your thoughts and respects for them and their families. Then there are graves like Lillie's where you just find yourself automatically attracted to it for reasons unknown to you.
Lillie's grave is located in what used to be called Potter's Field; the name changed to the Pioneer section. Now volunteers, like myself and my grandsons, do our best to keep the graves adorned with colorful flowers and free of weeds.
If anyone has any information or a picture of Lillie, I would love to have you add it to this memorial.
Suggested edit: Her son Horace Tipton born July 1897 in Nebraska living with her brother David J Tipton in 1900
