From the notebook of Lilly Carter Hoffman:
(1964)
 
In 1960 the cemetery plot in St. Martin's cemetery of David Coble, wife 
Martha, daughter Elizabeth and son, Jacob Coble was found by Mrs. Frances 
Korner Efird, wife of Judge Efird and identified by rubbing flour on the 
native stone which brought out the name, David Coble. Some of the native 
stones were missing but I felt strongly that the pioneer Coble plot should be 
preserved. I had Mr. Wolf of Oaksboro to cover the plot with 4 inches of 
cement and then cover with rocks and an 8 inch coping around it. Head stones 
were erected to all known graves and a larger stone was placed on the plot 
with the names, dates of birth, death, etc. of David, pioneer; wife Martha; 
son Jacob and daughter, Elizabeth.
