Notes

!Tombstone: Photo sent to Lonnie Chrisman by Sarah Mitchell on 9 Mar 2007. It is a stand-alone marker along side the road, which reads: "In Memory of C.W. BENSON, Who departed this life March 4th, 1832 Aged [41] years. " [There is one more line, a saying of some kind, along the bottom that I can't quite make out from the photograph].
