Roger Scales spoke with Joyce Meek, a researcher in Electra, TX. She indicated that there is no headstone listed for him in the latest headstone canvas. She and someone at the funeral home believe he would be buried in the old section (on the west side of Hwy 25), probably in an unmarked grave (Ibid.)
