W. O. B. Chandler, Stoneburg, Texas
CFA member David Chandler sent this photo of the grave marker of W.O.B. Chandler. David was following up on previous research which caused him to conclude that the O in W.O.B.s name stood for Overton, a family surname, rather than the generally accepted Overturn, which was probably a transcription error. (See CFA Newsletter, Autumn 2008.) W.O.B. Chandler is buried in Oakhill Cemetery, Stoneburg, Montague County, Texas. In addition to Chandler on the base, the inscription reads:
W.O.B. Chandler
Born May 8, 1816
Died Aug. 1, 1896
His happy soul has winged its way
to one pure bright eternal day
