An Isolated Grave from 1857

Hayden and I have been intrigued by this gravestone we could see from K-7 near her house. She discovered while she was at the courthouse that it was a child of early settlers so we stopped to investigate. The stone, which is a replacement, reads Asa C., Son of F.M. & E.F. Smith, Born Nov. 15 1856, Died August 30 1857. Seems he was buried on their acreage at the time although the family later moved to Leavenworth.
