George A. LETT
13 Mch 1886 - 10 Jly 1887
s/M & S (the book has a note "hard to read")There must have been an inscription on the tombstone. I'm assuming the "s/M&S" probably stands for "son of Moses and his wife". The only other thing noted is that Mose Lett was the owner of the plot.

Neither a J. H. or a Joseph Barnes got original land in Sumner Co.
However, a number of other Barnes' did, so I looked in the cemetery book
for Joseph and found that he and his wife Matilda are buried in the
Conway Springs Cemetery, so I looked for any Barnes getting a patent in
the Conway Springs area and found a few which I'm listing, along with the
dates from the tombstones in case you don't have them.
