[Note:  I do NOT find a marked grave in Little Bethel Baptist Church Cemetery for John Walter Cromer [B. abt. 1873 if he is 83/1956] & died January 14, 1956 ]  There are 16 marble posts in the area of the cemetery where there is an unmarked slab for John Walter Cromer’s wife, Dora Lee [Layfield] Cromer which has a funeral home marker on it with what I think is the incorrect year of birth for her with 1966 as the year of her death.  Her Death Certificate info was given by her son, Allen Cromer stating she was born November 8, 1873 and Died December 12, 1966 at Riverside Hospital in Montezuma.

BUT – according to previous census records, she was born about 1879 as she was 6 mo. Old, born December on the 1880 Macon Co., Ga. Census.
