Additional Comments:

Dorothy H. Coxwell was born Dorothy Helen Hoke on November 21, 1905 in New 
York, New York.  She was the daughter of Dr. Fenimore Cooper Hoke and Georgena 
E. Morgan of Richfield Springs, Oswego, New York. Dorothy, known as Dot to all 
of her friends and "Miss Dorothy" to many who knew her in Clifton, was my 
grandmother.

Grandma led a very full life.  She was well traveled and educated.  The stories 
she would tell me growing up are beyond the limited space I can provide.  Being 
the daughter of a prominent New York daughter did have its perks from teh 
stories I was told.  One thing that I remember clearly was her mentioning being 
in Paris and watching Charles Lindbergh land "The Spirit of St. Louis" at Le 
Bourget Field.  She also mentioned meeting the famed discoverer of King Tut's 
tomb, Howard Carter.

She was married firstly to Pierre Freiderich Hünerwadel about 1928 and divorced 
him about 1932. Her second marriage was to Claude Roland Perry about 1935 and 
divorced him about November, 1937.  Her third and final Marriage was to Fred V 
Coxwell around 1945 and divorced around 1952.  Grandma decided to keep the 
Coxwell surname after the divorce.

The stones, labled C.P.P. and M.E.P, denote the names of her son by Claude 
Roland Perry and her Daughter-in-law, my parents, both of whom still live 
currently in Chattachoochee, Fl. with Grandma's eldest great-grandson.  The 
stones were erroneously placed to indicate that M.E.P was the daughter of 
Grandma.
