Where Have All The Klansmen Gone?
(1) This head stone is for a Klanslady. W.O.K.K.K. stands for Women of the
Ku Klux Klan.
(2) This
Klansman died at a rather young age. So did the lady above and the man below. In those
days medicine wasn't nearly as advanced as it is today. People died much younger and from
may ailments that are cured today.
(3) At times the KKK was so popular people wanted their
membership to be known for a long time. Even after death.
(4) There was no date on this headstone. The name is for Roy
L. Cook. Above the name is a fiery cross and three K's flanking the base of the cross.
(5) We know a little bit more about this one. He was a Nighthawk in the
Klan. He was also Deputy Sheriff for Elkhart, IN. He drowned on a fishing trip.
Below the date 1971 is a Klan Nightrider. After its third great increase in membership
during the turbulent 1960's, by the 1970's the KKK was in decline once again.
(6) We know a lot about this one.
For nearly fifty years Roy Frankhouser was an active Klansman starting with the United
Klans of America and ending with the Keystone Knights of the KKK. He rose to the rank of
Grand Dragon for the state of Pennsylvania, had his own local TV talk show, and was seldom
out of the news.
