Comment: On 31 Oct 2003 I [Jennifer Neff] visited Selby Naff’s gravesite. The 
day was warm and balmy. A small purple flower bloomed beside the marker. The 
stone was easy to find - just to the east of the Barnes’ Monument. Selby was 
laid to rest with his maternal grandparents. The inscription on the small 
white stone was hard to read and a verse that had been written on the bottom 
of it is illegible today. His name was spelled NAFF. The front of both stones 
face west. On the east side of the Barnes monument are the inscriptions for 
B.S. and Lois Hine, Selby’s uncle and aunt.  B.S. Hine was one of Canfield’s 
most well-known citizens. [It should be noted that in old records, although 
his full name was Benjamin Selby, he went by “Selby”. Most likely Selby Naff 
was named for him.] Today they are still close, lying next to one another. In 
an Odd Fellows’ memorial to B.S. Hine, who had no children, it is written, “He 
had a kind heart for all. Children were his pets, and their companionship was 
a delight to him and them.”
