the stones were removed from the burial sites and most were
discarded. The burial sites are located in the middle of a field

From a deposition taken from Amanda (Lattin) Long
of Humboldt Kansas, the sister of Catherine Bumpus, in the late
1890's in the matter of a Widows Pension application filed on behalf
of Mary A Bumpus, second wife of Samuel Bumpus, Pvt. 8 Indiana Vol
Infantry, I quote the following: "Samuel was working in Carthage. My
sister Catherine died in my home the morning after he husband Samuel
Bumpus returned from Carthage. Samuel took her back to be burried by her
father". Catherine Bumpus was the daughter of Dimmick Lattin who was
burried in the Sidensticker Graveyard in 1872.
A deposition taken on Oct 20, 1893 from Amanda Long
of Humboldt, Allen Co., KA. during the Government investigation in the
matter of a widows Pension applied for my Mary Amanda Bumpus, second wife
of Samuel Bumpus who died in Aug 1885 of illness contracted in the Union
army in 1862. The deposition stated in part by Amanda (lattin Long):
" My sister Catherine Bumpus died in my home the next morning after
her husband Samuel Bumpus returned from Carthage where he had been
working. He took her back to be burried by her father and left the
children with me."
The deposition sets the death date at early in 1876. Catherine Bumpus was
the daughter of Dimmick and Serena(Taylor) Lattin. Dimmick was burried in
the Sidensticker Graveyard in 1872 at the age of 72.
