Find-a-Grave
"Rev Sapp was the presiding elder of the Division Street Methodist Church in his later years. This spot marks his burial space along with his wife & son. The Sapp family monument is made of sandstone. The monument is crumbling & that is the reason cemetery regulations no longer permit sandstone to be used as a grave marker."
