Findagrave indicates that she was "Grace Louise Caudle", a daughter of Chesley and Saba Turnbow, on whose land this cemetery was established in 1879. Her parents and other Turnbow family members are buried nearby, as is her nephew, John Chesley Caudle, who was killed when he dropped his pistol and it discharged. Her husband, Chesley Caudle, is buried at the Duffau Cemetery not far from here.

Her headstone is rectangular in shape, with "Louise Caudle" and "1835 = 1907" etched into it by hand. It looks like the person doing the work wasn't too sure about "1835", as that "5" looks squeezed and superimposed upon what looks to be a "1." Interestingly, Findagrave gives 1830 as her birth year, sometime in April.
Date of Birth: 4/1/1835

Date of Death: 1/1/1907
