From "The Newnan Weekly News", Newnan, Georgia - May 12, 1905
Miss Alma Crook the oldest daughter of Mr. O. Z. Crook, of near this place, died last Thursday morning about 11 o'clock, after suffering for nine days with pneumonia. She is said to have been a model young lady. Three other members of the family have also been down with pneumonia, but are said to be getting along very nicely.
This grave was constructed as a brick lined vault which held the coffin. Several years ago this vault collapsed into the grave causing the stone slab covering it to break and fall into the grave. The broken coffin was exposed to view until church members discovered the problem. Church members filled in the grave and reset the stone slab.
Be careful documenting and photographing old cemeteries; we have no idea how many brick vaulted graves may have been seriously compromised by time and the elements.
