There are several common local fieldstone markers from Stoney Creek in this end of the graveyard, being one of three within a few hundred yards called Fort Blackmore cemetery, this being the one at the UMC. The marker for Charles Preston Cox is mostly unreadable, however I found it on the FAG website. It appears as two graves covered in concrete and all I could see was Jan 1923 in the lower right corner. The main headstone in the center is badly eroded from weather and is now unreadable. It once read as:
