comments |
| Berea list her date of death 31 August 1849, age at death 3 years old. A transcription of a stone for her was recorded in 1904 but not in 1934. “Myra, S., Y. dau. Of Caleb and Myra S. Proctor, B. Mass., Oct 23, 1845 d. Cleveland, Aug. 31, 1849.” Caleb Proctor purchased lot 11. This is one of the older burials in the cemetery. The stone appears to be a whitish-gray sandstone; the stone is intact and upright but the face is worn away. "MYRA S" and traces of more inscription below are barely legible, and only in a strong sunlight with harsh shadows. |
