Cream of Wheat Man Gets Grave Marker

[CrimsonTide4]

LESLIE, Mich. - A man widely believed to be the model for the smiling chef on Cream of Wheat boxes finally has a grave marker bearing his name.

Frank L. White died in 1938, and until this week, his grave in Woodlawn Cemetery bore only a tiny concrete marker with no name.

On Wednesday, a granite gravestone was placed at his burial site. It bears his name and an etching taken from the man depicted on the Cream of Wheat box.

Jesse Lasorda, a family researcher from Lansing, started the campaign to put the marker and etching on White's grave.

Yay...cause Lord knows I love me some Cream of Wheat!!!!!

Seriously

It is good to see him getting that recognition, even if it is posthumously.

Now does Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben have a real name?
