There is no further information on the gravestone.
This may be the grave of a child of George W. & Alice Smith Bagwell. From the various census reports, they were long-time residents of Independence Township, Baxter County, Arkansas, in which the Pilgrims Rest Cemetery is located. Two of George W. & Alice Smith Bagwell's daughters--Maude Ellen Bagwell Haley and Mary Louise Bagwell Reed--are buried in the Pilgrims Rest Cemetery. George W. & Alice are both buried in the nearby Cooper Cemetery.
In the 1900 census of Independence Township, Baxter County, Arkansas, George and Alice Bagwell were enumerated along with their five children. They were shown as having been married for 16 years, and Alice was shown as the mother of 6 childen, 5 of whom were still living. It may be that this is the grave of the sixth child that had died prior to 1900.
