Jo,
Unfortunately, I have been unable to find where Stephen William DEBORD (1813 VA - 1891 TX) or Sarah Ann (TIPTON) COX DEBORD (1832/1834 TN - aft 1900 TX) are buried. Hwever, her age (72) and residence (near Ezzell) lead me to believe she is your g2-grandmother.
I downloaded the death certificate image for Sarah DEBORD (d: 1906) from FamilySearch (Search Labs). Unfortunately, it doesn't give enough info to verify that she is Sarah (TIPTON) COX DEBORD. Neither does it give her burial place.
Martha Jane (COX) DEBORD (1848 MO/AR - 1924 TX) is buried in Hillcrest Cemetery, Temple, Bell County, Texas. Her Find A Grave Memorial can be found here.

Martha's husband, James Alexander DEBORD (1838 KY - 1905 TX) is also buried in Hillcrest Cemetery in Temple, TX . . . . .as are others from this branch of the family.
I found death certificates for the sons and their wives, but have been unable to find death certificates for James or Martha. If you would like to search for them, visit the FamilySearch (Search Labs) site.

I will be more than happy to share the info I have on the DEBORD and COX families. Please feel free to contact me via e-mail.
Good luck with your search!
Blessings,
Janice
