In this case, I think there's a good chance family legend could be 
almost correct. Tidewater is fairly close to Waldport, and if you 
follow the link to Tidewater Cemetery 
[http://www.rootsweb.com/~orlincol/tidewater.htm], you'll find buried 
there "Hayes, Mr. (Bert?)" and "Hayes, Mrs.". The questioned "Bert" 
could be Colbert and "Mrs. Hayes" his wife. It seems worth checking 
out, and there's cemetery contact info on the page to make that easier.
