Son of Jason Thomas Coley
and Celia (Cook) Coley
Married Nannie Summerlin

Father of, at least:
=================================================
Lelon Coley (only 18, accidental drowning)
Estelle (Coley) Langston
Edna Grace (Coley) Bardin
Benjamin Franklin Coley, Jr.
Benjamin died Sunday, August 4, 1912 after being shot by Arthur Cook, after a night of drinking hard cider, during a wrestling contest. Arthur was reported to have been angry at Benjamin's brother Alvin and drew his pistol "snapping it several times at Coley. He was disarmed by bystanders" It seems Cook left for awhile but returned later with his brother Ernest Cook and they started "the fuss over again, shooting B. F. (Benjamin) Coley and firing several times at a man named Pittman..."
Burial per family record

Important Note:

with lat/lon data, it should be noted
that this memorial is, likely, "Buried
