This stone is an oblisk abut 5 ft tall with a small stone on each side. One reads “Mother” and the other “Father”. Stainback family researchers have been unable to confirm that William's middle name was 'Ruric.' Additionally, although a document prepared in the 1930s by William's great-grandson and genealogist Dr. Arthur H. Stainback indicates that he was William Richard Stainback, no where does he reveal the source of that information.
