We appreciate all the comments on finding the grave site of Oliver Rexford Crumley but I must tell you there are at least 35-40 unmarked graves at Nameless. When someone has family already buried there it can be much easier to reason that they are probably in the same area, but when there is no family buried there it would be next to impossible to locate, especially from that long ago.
I have a suggestion but will have to have the board approval and that is if your Crumley family would like to have a memorial marker made for him and have it set in the middle area. We had some of the Maynard family do that years ago and they had a small marker made for the many Maynard infants. It said something like "In memory of the Maynard infants" and they put it in the Maynard area. Of course for one person you could have his name and birth and death dates put on it. Just a suggestion!
