!TOMBSTONE:Macon Co, NC Aquone Cem. "Reuben Evans" (no dates). Next to stone saying "Wife of Reuben Evans" (no dates). I think these stones were placed after the graves were moved here from somewhere else due to the construction of Nantahala Lake or some other TVA project. I have no records proving this, but all the graves in the row were exactly the same type of marker and engraving style, so seemngly "mass produced";
