• The Ebenezer Cole memorial has been completely removed from the ground and is now resting against a large rock under a small cluster of apple trees. This large stone is damaged; broken in half through the text. An apple tree can be seen in the top right of a photograph taken of the memorial prior to it being moved (photo attached). It would appear that the original location of the stone is very close to where it now resides. Husband of 1st Martha (Grace) Cole, Husband of 2nd Margaret (Wade) Cole
