I took my 13 and 14 year old boys with me to the High Cemetery outside of Canton, Texas.  Both boys were actually looking forward to seeing their Great Great Great Grand Father's grave.  This was a very exciting trip for me too because we were not sure exactly where Daniel C. Tyler was buried.  My brother  had been searching for D. C. and Phairriba's  grave site for over 12 years.  He went to the High Cemetery and confirmed their location.  He told me of the poor condition Phairriba's headstone, so we made plans to refurbish it on a return visit.  My brother had to work and I couldn't wait and went there on my own.  Phairriba's headstone was in 13 pieces and I was surprised to find them all!  I am really happy how nice her stone turned out.
