The graves of George W. & Cora H. Beavers are marked with footstones with their first names and initials along with the dates, but no surname. Then there is a large double gravestone at the head of the grave with only the surname of Campbell. As a result, it is necessary to make two postings for each of them. One with the footstone and one with the headstone to get their full names. This is the headstone entry.

Died March 8, 1955, Violet Hill, Izard County, Arkansas.
