They ALSO had separate foot stones reading "Benjamin H." and "Mamie Ellen" and between these two stones was the only concrete flower pot in the entire cemetery. "mother" Susie M. Stallsworth 1884-1962 is found a short distance from Benjamin and Mamie. Susie's actual name was Martha Jane Susan Palmer, a daughter of James K. Polk Palmer and Sarah Ellen (Mutter) Palmer.
