In 1852, they removed to Iowa and settled near Toledo. In 1865 they removed to East Lynn, MO. Here, her husband died about 10 years ago. On Feb 17,1893, after a long illness, she died. She was patient in her suffering and was a faithful member of the church. Six children with many grandchildren survive her. All the old settlers in Toledo and Tama County know her and the family and will learn with sorrow of her death.
This is Polk Township there are approximately 125 marked graves in the cemetery. The Staley Mound Cemetery is located on Highway K, NE of Lynn, MO, which is East of Harrisonville, Missouri, Cass County. Two and one half miles North of E Lynn, then one mile east , and one half mile south.

Buried there with a double stone are; Jacob S Staley, B may 8,1808, D May 26,1883, aged 74 years, 11 months and 26 days. His dying prayer was the God would Bless and save his children.

* Notes on Edward and Frances Steele Wilson:
Edward was a guardsmen at the Scottish Courts for Queen Victoria. Frances was a cousin to Queen Victoria and one of her ladies-in-waiting. She fell in love with Edward and was disowned by her family due to the marriage and moved to Pennsylvania.
Edward's family all died in the small pox epidemic in England and was raised by a family named Anderson.
Edward came to California by a sailing ship around Cape Horn. It was a rugged trip.He had mined around Todd's Valley & Forest Hills prior to 1860, then went back East for his family. Frances later came to California by ship to the Isthmus of Panama,then walked on foot through jungles with her children. Euphemia the oldest child daudled to watch bright birds and dark skinned people and was told "you hold on to my skirt and don't let go".
