The bit of text on Clara's memorial lists her children: John Edward 1868-1929, Clarence George 1870-1902, Louis Charles 1873-1887, Harry Raymond 1876-1882, Cecil Eugene 1878-1964, Clara Louise 1881-1955 md. Arthur Seymour Hinckley & Frederick Eggertz, and Joseph Henry Mason.
However, it turns out that Ernest Phillip Benjamin Mason quite often went by the name Benjamin Franklin Mason, and Ben F. Mason, and was indeed listed on the memorial site FOR PAMELA, as Benjamin Franklin Mason.
So the name on that profile (Ernest etc) has been altered to conform the name on the memorial site, and a cautionary note put on his profile about his name and his alias
