"Otero County News" 29 Apr 1920
There were several mistakes in this obituary. 64 years was incorrect, and Joel was never in New Mexico. It should have been P. S. Tipton of Cox Canyon. Sarah is buried in a plot with Myra's husband, C.T. Duncan, and Myra's niece, Mrs. Alma Gladys and two sons Byron and Oscar. The marker has "MOTHER" Mrs. S.A. Tipton, b. June 28 1837, d. April 26 1920. Above Mr. Duncan's name is "HUSBAND" and above Alma Gladys' name is "NIECE." There were several places in the plot between Mr. Duncan and Alma (She and the two boys are all buried together) then Sarah is in next place. Evidently Myra planned on being buried there beside her husband at the time the markers were put up. The story goes that Alma was killed by some in-laws on her way to church with the boys. This cemetery plot is located in the Alamogordo Cemetery on Canyon Road. It is approximately in the center of the cemetery on the right-hand side of the road just past the second side road.
