Email from Joan dated May 2007
"Just wanted to let you know that we visited George Smothers' grave back in the 1980's when we first found where he was buried. He is in the 'old age benefit' section of the cemetery and has no formal marker on his grave. As I recall it was just a very small marker with a number on it."
