Flood waters, most certainly the flood waters of 1913 and 1937, washed away evidence of their graves. As late as 1913, their graves were still all to be found for there is an official report that Ripley's Maude Wylie submitted to the Smithsonian for preservation and to the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution for safe keeping. She identified the graves of both James Wm. Edwards and John West as having been positively identified in that old Aberdeen family graveyard.
