  5.   Family oral history states that Clara died and was buried "on the farm." This farm location is unproven but believed to be the farm belonging to Joseph Eckley's family outside Milesburg. By the time of Clara's death, her father had left the area and sold his farm. Upon Joseph's death, he was buried with Clara. Their son Joseph Eckley is reported to have paid the farmer upkeep of the graves for many years. In the 1920's, Spangler reports the existance of "two graves on farm" without any further information. Whether this is Joseph and Clara is unknown.
