    • 11 Apr 2014
      Glenn Martin Library, Princeton, KY
      Webster County Cemetery Book Vol II page 6
      I.O.O.F (Odd Fellows) Cemeteries, Clay, KY
      Lot 31
      J.C. "POKE" Hopper b. 1847 (other date 1848) bur. 28 Mar 1926

      I have been to the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Clay, KY and I have a photo of the HOPPER Tombstone. A large area of unmarked graves surrounds the huge marker with the exception of BAIN b 1886 bur 15 Sep 1918. I have a photo of this marker; however the Cemetery Book gives the spelling as Baine?
