Within a couple days prior to my visit, the area suffered a violent wind storm. There were several small limbs down in the cemetery and a work crew was there cleaning up.
I arrived at the cemetery initially expecting the marker to be here. But, somehow I started getting the impression the marker was at a different location and on private property, so I began to have doubts. I asked a man on the work crew about the grave of Abram Anglin and they weren't sure. Then had an ah ha moment. Find-a-grave! How did I forget to check Find-a-grave? I checked and found confirmation the marker was here. A photo of the marker confirmed it was the easy-to-spot upright style and not the impossible-to-see-unless-you-are-on-top-of-it foot marker style.
I spoke a lady on the work crew about the marker's exact location and she pointed me in the general direction where I was able to spot it.
