I did not find a stone for Mercer at Lone Oak but according to Mildred Dulaney's book The Descendents of Mercer Norton and his wife Martha;
" Mercer Norton West was born Nov. 11, 1807 near Mill Springs, Wayne County, Ky and married Ann Mercer. Mercer N West was a farmer. After his children had moved to Texas, Mercer N. West came along with others to the state. A letter from his daughter Canzda to her brother Richard dated January 29, 1871, states: "Father got to my home the 24th of November in good health. He had much trouble and fatigue on his way out on account of sickness in Mr. Rogers family". He lived with his son Elza Milton in later life and died August 3, 1889 and is buried in Lone Oak Cemetery near Mart, McLennan County Texas. Mercer Norton and Ann Mercer West were the parents of ten children: John H, Canzada, Solomon G., Mary Jane, Hester Ann, Richard M., Elza Milton, James Henderson, Margaret E. and Lorenzo Dow. His farm had a cave on it, now known as the Hinds Cave, in which stock was hidden during the Civil War. Scientists worked in the cave in the 1920's and found Indian and animal remains dating back before Columbus discovered America.
