note - Hi Terri, Wayne has been working on the location of the Davis family and has found where it is. He found the place where Rupert’s two daughters and their husbands are buried. It is lot 406 in the Oak Grove Cemetery. There are 6 spots but no headstones. He concludes that the Rupert and his wife are buried with their daughters so the question is answered.
