Following his death, Amandy married Robert Leroy "Lee Roy" Farris, 11 October 1897, in Stone County, Arkansas. A small-scale wooden house is at the foot of Amandy Watkins McVey (McVeigh) Farris' grave. It is said that the house is a replica of their home and was built by her husband, Leroy Farris. Inside is a table and during his life he kept canned food, cornbread, etc. on it. The house was always kept locked. He believed Amandy would come from the grave and eat. Her grave is beside her first husband's, U.G. McVey (McVeigh). Leroy asked that when he died the house be moved back from the foot of her grave and for him to be buried at her feet. According to Nola Morrison, "The little house had to be torn down, so Alvis Powell tore it down and hauled it away"
