    • Her obituary states that "funeral services were conducted at the M.P. church, Cabin Run" and that "interment was in the M.P. churchyard." But no headstone or grave marker for her is found at Cabin Run Cemetery. However, there is a headstone (flat marker) for her at Masonic Memorial Park, Crystal Lake (West Union), Doddrige County. The marker is inscribed: Sarah O. Leggett, 1833-1918. We were informed by her great-granddaughter, Carolyn Leggett Gaston, that Sarah's remains were removed from Cabin Run in the 1940s and reinterred in the Leggett plot at the Masonic Cemetery.
