John and Vanbdora have a joint gravestone in Crossville Methodist Cemetery, Crossville, Alabama. But her inscription has no date of death. A memorial for her on Find a Grave has the same photos and children, and gives her death date. But the memorial is not linked to John's. I submitted the link on 8 June 2016.
