I understand from my late mother's research that the gravestones are broken or missing due to vandalism and tornados. Mother stated that she could not find her grandfathers stone. Below is information from his death certificate to document that he was buried at Mt. Olive Cemetery.

b. January 1864 TX
d. March 15, 1910 Scurry, Kaufman Co., TX
