Britton Stamps and his wife are buried there.  According to Freddie Shearin, who researched the Stamps in the 1990s, all the other graves are slaves and their descendants.

William was born just across the river from Boonville, Missouri, to Cosby Berryman Harrison and Mary Callaway. He married Laura Lundy on March 7, 1866, and had six children:

• James Edward Harrison, born December 10, 1866

He was a stagecoach driver and pioneer settler of Cooper County, Missouri. He later became a supervisor of road construction.

William Henry Harrison died on November 8th, 1915, of apoplexy, while overseeing road work on the Santa Fe Trail.

Note: The video has no sound, since it was converted from 8mm film.

The video shows the parade, which consists of cars (clearly labeled as to who is riding within) and the marching band; in addition to a few shots of the Memorial itself.
