Sarah Hilton, Osa Cemetery, Osa, MO - Homemade Tombstones on Waymarking.com

The FindAGrave entry for Sarah Hilton has a photo that is, of course, earlier than my photo, and looks like it is more readable. It mentions that the only date visible is 1838. Given the fact that this area was not settled in 1838 (the earliest Barry County graves are from the early 1850s), this is probably a birth date; and perhaps they ran out of room for the death date, or it is buried beneath the grass level. Or perhaps Sarah had passed away before this area was settled, and this is a cenotaph.

Perhaps we will never know, this side of Glory.

I have, as usual, included photos to assist you to find the marker, in case the coordinates of either my GPSr or yours are at too much variance.
