Notes:

His tombstone shows that he was a Mason, and was inscribed "Gone by not Forgotten." Kay Parker McCary shows him as a son of H. J. Powell and Nancy Ann Burch. However, CR Burkhead, on the FindAGrave memorial page he created, lists his parents as Richard Ealie Powell and Mary Ann Gay, and spouse of Margarette Elizabeth Martin.

Richard married Margaret "Marge" Elizabeth Martin on 14 Sep 1876 in Jasper County, Texas. Margaret (daughter of Thomas Jefferson Martin and Rebecca "Becky" Richardson) was born on 21 Nov 1862 in Brookeland, Sabine County, Texas; died on 7 Mar 1937 in Brookeland, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Brookeland Cemetery, Brookeland, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In her annotated transcription of the Brookeland Cemetery, Kay Parker McCary shows her as the wife of A. J. (???) Powell, but later shows her husband as Richard Benjamin Powell.

A J Powell was born 14 Mar 1855-died 7 Aug 1927. Did this listing of her husband as A J Powell perhaps relate to a second marriage for Margaret, or was it simply an error?
