Mr. Coad wanted members of his family to have appropriate grave markers, so he arranged for markers with the Upton Standiford Company in Baltimore..
June 4, 1953 Mr. Coad sent a memorandum of understanding about the memorial he wanted for his brother William T. Coad and Sara, his wife. He chose William T., although William's whole middle name was Thomas a Becket.
June 12, 1953 Charles Standiford responded to Coad describing various possibilities for the inscriptions and sending photos of two styles of stone marker. Coad chose the Banfield.
No date Two sheets with possible text for the stone, one handwritten and one typed.

October 31, 1953 Standiford wrote to say the marble was back ordered, but he still felt he could complete the work by November 15.
Charles Fenwick was a local representative of Consumers' Monument Company in Georgia and was given credit for the sale of the stone markers.
August 5, 1966 The company sent the "Customers' Acknowledgment" forms for stones for Catherine A. Allan and Mary Allan Coad. Mary was Coad's mother and presumably, Catherine was her mother.Collection
