Note: Both the obituary and Watts Funeral Home show Rachel and Edward buried in Madill-Legion Cemetery (now Woodberry Forest), but when we got the City Records, there is no sign of them! Edward bought eight plots, but only three show people buried in them - Orlan, Ola Mae, and Klough. I believe that Rachel and Edward are in two of the other five plots, but we have not been able to prove it yet. (Luanne Sbarbaro)
