DuMOND, Lester Ray, 63
Reydell AR
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette; 26 February 2012
In Ray's obituary, I found no mention of the city where the funeral home or cemetery is. In this Stuttgart newspaper, the obituary is written as though everything is local and well known by all readers. A search indicates the only Graceland Cemetery in that part of the state is in Pine Bluff. The website of Robinson and Sons Funeral Home gives their address as Pine Bluff. It is very odd that the place of visitation and burial are not mentioned at all.
