  _FSFTID	K298-6L3
  _UID	C8E5D284CC9842ADB792A4DC35D4B1825BEA
  Death	21 Aug 1924	Arkansas, United States   [3]
  	Findagrave records her death as either 21 Aug 1920 or 21 Aug 1924. She also has findagrave memorials for Dryden Cemetery in Harmon Co., Oklahoma and in Yell County, AR. If she were in OK, then it seems she would have been with someone in her family there in 1920, but she was in AR for the 1920 census in April.
  Burial	Hollis, Harmon, Oklahoma, United States
  	Address: Dryden Cemetery
  	In my notes, I have that she is buried at the Dryden Cemetery in Hollis, Harmon Co., Oklahoma. I think this is likely my own data entry error. Will need to check my records. From Findagrave: Eliza L Huckaby's mother was Nancy T Menifee. I know the census say Mary. Eliza had a sister Terilda who was my gg grandmother. The family names were written down in 1906 and their mother is listed as Nancy T Menifee Huckaby. ******************* Note: Originally typed 20 May 1993 by Marilyn Roberts. The cemetery is about one mile south of Hwy. 27. About 20 graves but no markers. The markers were all turned over and the cemetery was all grown up. A new stock pond had just been built when this was copied and one wonders if some of the graves were not dug up by the dozers.

  Father	Alfred Huckaby,   b. 1821, South Carolina, United States d. May 1886–FEB 1888, Yell, Arkansas, United States (Age 67 years)
  Mother	Nancy Terilda Stewart,   b. 24 May 1811, Wilson, Tennessee, United States d. 12 Aug 1881, Dardanelle, Yell, Arkansas, United States (Age 70 years)
  Marriage License	11 Dec 1839	Noxubee, Mississippi, United States   [9]
  Marriage	15 Dec 1839	Noxubee, Mississippi, United States   [9]
  	Marriage license was issued 11 Dec 1839 and it was recorded 4 Jan 1840. There is apparently a typo that says the marriage was done 15 Dec 1838, but it is all on the same record. So 1838 is wrong and 1839 is correct.

• Notes

  Findagrave shows two different graves for Eliza - one in Yell Co., Arkansas, and a second in Oklahoma. She is not found in the 1920 census, but supposedly died in 1924 according to one entry, but 1920 according to the second. There is a marker for her in Oklahoma but no marker in Arkansas, due to loss in the cemetery. I cannot come up with a good reason for there to be two markers, with one as a memorial marker, unless she is buried in Oklahoma and the memorial was in Arkansas. Findagrave does have extensive information about her parents, however. Arkansas: http://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=43650784 Oklahoma: http://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=8471028 The note in the Arkansas Findagrave indicates that her mother was Nancy T Menifee. So far as I can tell, she was Nancy T Stewart. The marriage record to Albert Huckaby says Miss Nancy Terilda Stewart and the last census before her death (1880) also says Huckaby, so she died a Huckaby with no remarriage. It could be she was married briefly before marrying Albert, since she was several years older than him. This merits some investigation
