It says died Augest (the way it is spelled on the stone) the 25th,1924, 31 yrs. Just thought you might like this information.

Hi, Joyce,  As you can tell I am visiting, I am down at your Cole Farm Cemetery. In regards to the ?? behind the name of Franklin, George W. (Hooker) It was his nickname and the name he was known well for. I knew him as a small child and growing up. He operated a gas & mechanical station on Franklin Road witch is a very short distance from the Cemetery. His wife passed away some time ago, I will look it up and get back to you I will have to come across it first, But I have it as she was a great person and close to my family. ~Dee A. Reeves
Hi Joyce: [August 2008]
First I would like to say thank you for all of your hard work on your website.  I found it a few months ago and I can
not believe all the information you have in there.
I just found the Cole Cemetery page and was wondering if you could make note of the fact that Lulu B Mayo Benjamin (1900-1944) was the wife of
Albert E Benjamin (Nov 1895 - June 1968).
These were my grandparents on my mothers side.
I have other relatives buried there but I wanted to be sure I am following the right protocol before I add any additional info.

My Greatparents, Great Aunt and my father are also buried there.
I have been trying to find info on the Mayo family, which is my Grandmothers family but I haven't had much luck. Does that mean that no one has traced this family?

Once again thank you so much and if it is ok to email you with more info that I have please let me know and I will send another email.
