Inscription: "MISSOURI PVT CO H REGT CAVALRY CIVIL WAR" - Research Note: There is no one buried here - just a stone. He is probably buried in Corsicana Cemetery with his wife Nancy Matilda Fly. - Ted Roller's comments: I had told Jack Fly that the stone did not have a body under it using dousing rods. We followed up. Loren Roden knew that there were some CW soldiers found at Clio and he ordered a stone near Old Bob Town where James was known to live last with his wife. He had it placed where it stands as is, as a memory to James. I think this is just as good a placement as Corsicana as I have no prove otherwise. Jack Fly and Nancy are close friends and may have started the story further. The James Roden lived at Bethel area also and could be buried there? Someone may have proof of a burial at Corsicana?? He lived near Corsicana after the CW on 40 acres. I have the abstract. - Cassville Republican, May 11, 1899 - James Roden died at the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Samuel Bailie, in Mountain township. Born in Giles Co., Tennessee, he came to Barry County in the 1840's. He married three times. His first wife was a sister of Asher Fly of Jenkins, by whom he had five children. His second wife died on the Gasconade shortly after giving birth to twins. The babies were given to a neighbor woman and Mr. Roden went to war. A few years ago he looked up his twins. One had died and the other was doing well. His third wife was Miss Nancy Salmon, sister of Mrs. Samuel Bailie. | Note Ted Roller Online Obit Phyllis Long Photo Diana Cope |
