6th Rhea Name Buried In Rhea Cemetery

Older Rhea family members have always said there were supposed to be six
graves in the Rhea-Campbell Family Cemetery that we recently located in
Williamson County, Texas but up until now I only had five names. In some old
family papers provided by my Aunt Phern Rhea Matthes I have found a sixth
name of someone who is supposed to be buried there. It is Ada Rhea, the
grand daughter of E.M Rhea who is also buried there. Ada is the daughter of
Albert Rhea & Delia Inman Rhea. Albert is the son of E.M. Rhea. All we know
about Ada at this time is that "she died at a very young age".

This could be the person who is buried in the old small unmarked stone on
the far back corner of the cemetery. I had previously "assigned" this stone
to John Campbell's wife, Tiny Unknown Campbell, because her's was the only
other name I had of people buried there at the time. However I was never
comfortable with that "assignment" since the stone was so small and so old
that it did not look like an adult's grave or look new enough or large
enough to be John's wife.

Now that I have this additional information of a child being buried there
also, then it would better fit that this small stone belongs to the child.
This would then make the possible unmarked grave outside the fenced area as
probably John's wife.
