The county cemetery book from 1996 does not list these 4 Coops, June Deloris, Frances "Fannie", Thomas Benton and John Coop, so the markers must have been placed since then. I have checked the 1925 diary of John Adam Gaumer hoping he mentions the funeral of Fannie Coop, but all he has written is that "Mrs. Tom Coop died" in his entry on 28 December 1925. It was 7 degrees below zero that morning so he probably would not have attended her funeral as he was by then 90 years old and had moved off the farm and into Murray.
