From Wikipedia: ( visit link) "John Homer Bothwell (1849–1929), lawyer, politician, member of the 35th and 38th General Assemblies of the Missouri legislature (1889 and 1895)." My Commentary: This 30 foot pink granite obelisk is in the center of the historic Crown Hill Cemetery. The obelisk has been placed in a major traffic circle within the cemetery. The inscription on the obelisk reads: East Face: Anderson D. Jaynes Born November 27, 1829 Died October 13, 1886 His Wife Mary J. Brown Born November 8, 1839 Died November 28, 1890 William Vinton Born August 27, 1859 Died July 23 1891 Clara Josephine Born April 6, 1874 Died August 19, 1874 South Face: Hattie Jaynes Bothwell Wife of John H. Bothwell Born December 14, 1864 Died June 18, 1887 John Homer Bothwell Born November 20, 1848 Died August 4, 1929 West Face: Jennie Jaynes Lewis Born September 11, 1870 at Sedalia, Mo.
