The stone is located in the Freeman Chapel Cemetery near Easton, Buchannan County, Missouri. Originally, he was buried on the farm but the grave was moved to this cemetery in the 1920's when the farm was sold.
It is located about 6 miles east of St. Joseph, MO near the San Antonio junction located on US Highway 6. It was place by the St. Joseph Chapter of the DAR ca. 1912. As a matter of interest, at one time James S. was thought to be the only Rev. War Veteran buried in Buchannan County, MO, but later another Rev. War veteran was discovered in Mt. Mora cemetery within the City of St. Joseph.
