402 According to Doris Mayo Bissey, Carola was actually an orangutan that belonged to Ray & Hazel Brainard and lived with them for over 28 years.

According to Paul Wilder: "It is a fact the one and only one buried there it has more flowers than most graves there"

According to Deanna Turner Allison: "it belonged to Roy Brainard from Olney"

403 According to Edna (McDowell) Wilson, he is buried in Haven Hill Cemetery, Olney, Richland County, Illinois. Lot 1747 (no gravestone). NOTE by Carl Wayne Gray: As of Nov 16, 2009, I have found no record of his burial.

On January 18, 2010, Jim Michels researched the Olney burial records and discovered the following: "John William McDowell is buried about 75 or 100 feet away from Sarah. There is no tombstone. He is in lot 1747, the south half of the north half. The owner of his plot is listed as Blanche Pickle. He is buried next to Joseph Von Almen who is just to his south and does have a tombstone.
According to the city records, there never was a tombstone for John McDowell.They only list a "stabber"; that is the little metal name tag that the funeral home marks the grave with. It is long gone."
