Note from Donna (Andis) Paddock: 
After years of extensive research and family information, Jimmy & Norma Andis still had not located William’s grave. They decided to visit Unionville, Missouri, where he supposedly died. Their first stop was the Unionville Courthouse. After some time of browsing the Courthouse Cemetery Book, they found that William and his son were buried in the Lupton Cemetery, a private cemetery outside of town. The county commissioner gave them directions to the cemetery, located beside Thunderhead Lake. They drove through a field and around the lake to find the fenced in area showing “Lupton Cemetery” above the gate. With a penciled rendition of the layout of the cemetery, they found the two unmarked graves, separate from the others. Elated at their discovery, they returned two years later with a tombstone for William. Not knowing exactly which grave was which, they placed the tombstone in the middle, thus marking both graves.
