On the Bethany Cemetery- Near the end you have a list of people buried
in the cem. but with no markers.
You have Cecil John Cossey, which is correct. Buried beside him is his
twin, Laurel Cossey, born Dec. 20, 1917 and died Feb. 6, 1920. If you
wish, please add this information. Also, the parents of these boys were
Claude and Rosa Cossey listed elsewhere in the Bethany Cem. I have
checked the death records and birth records at the Pope Co. Courthouse
and my mother-in-law remembers where they are buried.
Thank you.
Cheryl Broadway Cossey
Thank you Cheryl for providing the additional information
