Wordless Wednesday - Midway Cemetery, Calhoun County, MS
The double Gravestone of Bobby Van Franklin and Jerry Hensley Franklin, located in Midway Cemetery, Calhoun County, Mississippi, shows no dates of birth for either person, and their relationship to each other is unknown. But the double heart-shaped stone that marks their graves is a loving tribute to the two individuals who died on the same day, June 20, 1938.
