      SubjectOverton, R. B.
      Description-died, extensive obit. (I have not yet obtained a copy of this, need to go to the library in Columbia)

      They are buried in Hillcrest in Fulton, Mo. I have photos of his and Elizabeth's grave stones in Hillcrest. Very hard to read the dates, but the names are correct. His death date appears to be 1860 something. There was something I read at the historical society that said Reuben and Elizabeth were buried somewhere else and later moved to Hillcrest when there was construction on the land.
