Uncle Joe was given this grave site by Gentsel F. Kinney after Uncle Gentsel was remarried so Uncle Joe could be buried beside his sister. He had no Children, other than his nieces and nephews. Note: Uncle Joe told me that he was
named after Benjamin Franklin Friend, and therefore he and I went looking for Benjamin Franklin's grave site. He had been there years before but could not remember how to get there. One of the "Locals" up there steered us to the grave site and that is quite a story in its self.
Uncle Joe worked for the British Intelligence Agency in Washington, D.C. during WWII.
