I just received some beautiful photos of the Monument and Upton Hays' marker from Barbara Brackman. She is a writer who's subject is quilts and she is doing a series of articles for the KC Star about women who lived in the border counties during the Border War and Civil War. Margaret Watts Hays will be featured in October. These articles are appearing monthly. Other Missouri women featured are:
