Gravestone Inscription: There is no gravestone; a funeral home marker lists her name as “Mrs. Moulton,” which is hand-written.
Note: The Alma cemetery and Buckskin cemetery are one in the same. The cemetery was originally called the Buckskin cemetery because it was located next to the original town of Buckskin Joe, now a ghost town. President Theodore Roosevelt approved the land grant for the cemetery to be used by Alma residents on 3/21/1902.
