Letha McDaniels Cooper, 1913-1993, Pequest Union Cemetery, Great Meadows, Warren Co., New Jersey - memorial 131398191. The married-name form is exact and the cemetery is her husband's. AND THE PARSER STOPPED ME: THE CATALOG ALREADY HELD IT. fetch_findagrave.ps1 opens with "MEMORIAL 131398191 IS ALREADY IN THE CATALOG -- 1 file(s): G.237 ... READ THOSE FIRST ... do not report what they already contain as a new finding." [G.237], the Pequest Union Cooper roster, carries her row with the dates and the memorial id, and its note reads "No person file" - which stopped being true on 2026-10-04 when this file was created. Each side was stale about the other, which is why a search was needed for something already transcribed. THE PARSER ALSO RECOVERED FIVE ANCESTRY LINKS a saved page would have lost - see suggested_records. The family panel is EMPTY, which per the standing rule is not evidence of anything; Find a Grave serves that box empty about a third of the time.Documents
