Tombstone at Lowes Creek Cemetery, Ozark, AR says: May the Resurrection find Thee on the Bosom of thy God

Notes for CHARN BENTON STEWART:

The story has been told that Charn was on his way home, to get there, he took the shortcut through a cemetery. He came upon two drunks that were robbing a grave of a recently deceased person. They took the body out of the grave and propped it up against a tree, so Charn, being the trickster he was, moved the body and took it's place. The two drunks after their raid decided to take the "body" for a ride in their wagon, so they put the "body" between them to support it. While on their ride, one handed the "body" the bottle and said, "Do you want a drink?", to which the "body" grabbed the bottle and said, "Don't mind if I do!" Both the drunks jumped off the wagon and ran into the dark. Charn went home with a new wagon and team of horses. No one ever claimed them.
