Dear Bobbie and Olivia, Whose death cert says May 6, 1932? Benjamin THOMPSON married Sylvestra MURRAY, daughter of Benjamin Timothy MURRAY and Eliza THOMPSON. Luther Preston THOMPSON, son of Eliza THOMPSON and Wes LINDSEY (married to Eliza's sister, Elizabeth), and Luther's son, Drew THOMPSON, are buried in Daniel Cemetery, Jacksonville, FL. It's a stretch, but since Eliza and your Solomon were siblings, you might check there for E.A.
