There are two graves in this cemetery that are marked for Ben Cummins. This headstone marks the correct one. His son Elmer made this headstone and probably placed it here. Elmer was also the informant on his father's death certificate, so it's easy to say that Elmer knew the exact location his father was buried when he placed the stone. I have no idea who is buried in the other grave marked for Ben Cummins.
