A kind FindAGrave volunteer quickly got a photo for me of the
tombstone of
John Fordham, a former missing person (or runaway) at age 15 in 1890, who died in 1896 at age 21 after apparently falling from and being run over by a train. The tombstone at the historic
Maple Grove Cemetery in Wichita, Kansas, also marks the graves of his parents,
Charles R. Fordham, 1843-1904, and
Helen Nancy Chafin Fordham, 1848-1917. In the same cemetery are Charles' and Helen's son
Reigh C. Fordham (1876-1927) and his wife
Bertha C. Fordham (1878-1953) and son Raymond James Fordham (who, sadly, also died young, born about 1912 and died in 1921),
