Mrs. Draughon is buried in the Draughon family plot along with two of her children. The broken column stands about ten feet high, with a funeral wreath of roses around the apex. The inscription is on a scroll on the front.

Notably, her husband, James Harris Draughon, built the landmark "Ace of Clubs" house in 1885, and they lived there for several years. The house still stands in Texarkana, a museum today.
