"Scarcely ten feet away from Mr. Lay's [Hon. Alfred M. Lay, member of Congress from Missouri] monument, sleeps the beloved daughter of Gov. Crittenden... Above the grave of little Carrie Crittenden rises a white marble slab, fronting which is an iron archway, over the green and tim'rous myrtle grows in profusion."
--The State Times, published in Jefferson City, Friday, August 13, 1886.

The DAR, when enumerating this cemetery in 1976, stated, "This monument is not in Woodland Cemetery now."

Nancy Arnold Thompson found the unmarked slab and photographed it on October 26, 2014. Many thanks to Ms. Thompson for her hard work.
