Mark,
I was just going by the obituary that states She lived in Eagle Village and
was buried in the Eagle Village Cemetery. I would imagine that she had a
stone as I have found most of her family, but not all. So it could be. Thank
you for your consideration.

Mike,
I dont believe we have seen a stone with that surname on it and we have been
all over that cemetery for the past 3 years.
Is it possible she could have been buried at Little Eagle Creek Cemetery in
Hamilton County? Or that no stone was ever placed at the cemetery?

Mark,
Thank you for your post, I am very interested in this cemetery as a few
years ago I walked it looking for a distant relative but could not find the
grave of Verlinda Rhoades. I even walked across the road jumped a fence and
climbed a small hill to find a few almost covered stoned that looked like
someone had bulldozed dirt on them while constructing some homes nearby.
Below is the obituary of the subject, any help you might be able to provide
in locating this grave &/or a picture would be greatly appreciated.
