Children of Edwin Charles Henderson

I'm still playing around with the Find a Grave website. Before I add a name, I always check to see what's there. The other night I found someone had already made entries for Edwin Charles Henderson, Sr (1863-1939) and Emma H Wood (1868-1929), as well as their three children (Emline Lavinia, Wilmer Thomas, and Edwin Charles, Jr) and son in law (Ben Bunyar, Sr). I emailed the person who posted the entries, "Phyl," but he said he was not related. Apparently there are a number of people like him who, as a public service, take photographs of gravestones and post them to this site. As Edwin and Emma are my great granduncle and great grandaunt, I was happy to not only find these graves, but see them too. Each of the graves has the same style, which makes me think that there may not have been stones for the older burials until recently. Previously, in March, I wrote a cold contact letter to the person who I believed was the great grandson of Edwin and Emma, but I never received a reply.
