Email dated May 2004 from Don Martin with a very generous offer. Let’s hope his brother thinks so too!

“Your site shows a Massie King being married to Clement Cole and both buried in the Cole Cemetery at SR 612 & 673.  That may be true; however, the Macy(sp) King that we knew was married to Archie Frank Cole, son of Jerry Kyle & Mae Inez and she and Archie are buried in that same cemetery.” (Don was correct!) 

Tannie Cole was buried in a cemetery up in the woods behind her home.  There are several cemeteries near the one currently used and all of them are often referred to as the Cole cemetery.  All of these cemeteries are within a mile of each other, as the "Crow Flies" (ha!) 

My brother Algie, lives on 673 Cole's Knob road and could show anyone where these cemeteries are. 

Regards,

 Don Martin
