The Texas Historical Marker for the cemetery notes that there are thirty-three victims of the tornado buried here. The Carter family are all together, as are members of the Cabler family, and in the same row as the Carters are Benjamin Franklin Brown and his wife, Henrietta.
Mrs. Carter's short marble headstone has a rose at the top, with this inscription:
Emma P.
