'Cream of Wheat' Man Gets Grave Marker

According to an AP story, the Cream of Wheat guy finally got a grave marker bearing his name after 69 years without one.

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.
