(just a short distance south of the Ark. border). By Peggy Manning Rockett - March 31, 1992. Information in parenthesis is from Peggy Rockett and does not actually appear on tombstone. ..................................................................... (((Note contributed by Shawn Martin: The following headstone is correct as it appears, but the headstone is wrong. Mary Jane McAdams Should read Mamie Murray McAdams Nov 1, 1882 Oct ?, 1911 Her step daughter Faye McAdams Dison said that even though the head stone reads Mary Jane McAdams, the person that made up the headstone carved it wrong. Mamie was Faye's father's (James Rufus McAdams) first wife. The two children buried near her Cleo and Leon are her children. Robert E. McAdams and Mattie Traylor McAdams buried there are Mamie's son and daughter-in-law.))) ..........................................................................
