The original headstone was removed from cemetery and was going to be put back, however, as of June 2009, the headstone is still missing. This photo is of wire fence that is now around the spot where the headstone once stood.
June 10, 2014 Update: According to Don Bomer, Willie Howard Bomer drowned at his father's ferry on the White River then called "Bomer's Landing." Mr. Bomer indicated that his cousin, De De Stephens was the one that removed the gravestone and saw to the refurbishing of it.
