Note: 1908 - 1995
There is a tombstone in the Giddings cemetery of Sam and Ruby's baby,with only one date on the stone:
Infant Fariss July 15, 1935
Seven are buried on the same Giddings lot:
William Holmes Fariss
Amelia Scott Jones Fariss
William T. Wilson
Lyda Fariss Wilson
Milton S. Merchant
Mary Adelia Fariss Merchant
Infant son of Sam and Ruby Fariss
The only two burials on the adjacent 8-place plot are:
Andrew Mack Fariss
Clara Koch Fariss
The body of the stillborn son of Sam and Ruby Fariss was sent toGiddings, with the intent that the infant be buried on the cemetery lotowned by his grandparents, Fate and Bert Fariss. But by a mistake ofpersons in Giddings, perhaps the preacher or the funeral home, the babywas mistakenly buried on the William Holmes Fariss lot.
