A Grave Story - The story is that a hobo died and since there was no place to bury him, Henry Thomas gave him a grave site. Toni Roush said this: "I took my mother, Nola Thomas Getty Zapart to Leann yesterday. I had her show me where the Hobo's grave was at. It is on the south side of Henry M. Thomas grave and west of McCubbin grave. I think the tombstone said Avin and not sure what the wife's name was. There is a flat rock laying there for the Hobo's tombstone with no name on it. As near as she knows he died sometime in the late 1917 to 1919.
