See records of Myrtle Vance and Negro Henry Smith for more information. It is believed that Henry B. Birmingham is the H. M. Birmingham referred to in those records. That Mr. Birmingham made a speech in 1893 to a crowd meeting the train holding the escaped murderer, Henry Smith. He turned the prisoner over to the crowd which subsequently burned the prisoner at the stake without a trial.

On the same stone with Eula Eakin Birmingham.
