This little girl was a member of a fairly prominent family in Denton County. Her grandfather, W.A. Ponder, was a successful businessman, and a western Denton County city bears his name, which also figures into one of Denton's
curiosities.
Cora Lee is buried a few feet from her parents. There is text only on the front of the headstone, below a beautiful rose:
Cora Lee,
Beloved daughter
of
Theodore E. & Effie
Ponder,
Born
Sept. 23, 1899,
Departed
March 8, 1902.
"Suffer little children to come
unto me, for of such is the Kingdom
of Heaven."
