Cholakis John Elias & Elizabeth Fraser; Fraser John - Who Are they?


 On the stretch of road inside the Marshfield Hills Cemetery that runs adjacent to Old Main Street Extension is one stone on which John Elias Cholakis, Elizabeth Fraser Cholakis and a third Sanford Fraser are listed. Who are these people and what was the role in the history of Marshfield?  Seeing a flag in front, one can only surmise that at least one of them was a veteran.   In checking the US Public Record index, I found Sanford Fraser.  He was born on eighth of December 1932. In 1987 he resided at 11 Jones Street in New York, New York.  I did find a John H Fraser living at 624 Webster Street in Marshfield in 1933.

Social security death records indicate that John Elias Cholakis was born on the thirteenth of August, 1925.  He died in Queens, New York on the twenty-seventh of November 1998.  He was the son of Elias J and Despina (Metropole) Cholakis. Both his parents were born in Greece.  In 1930, his father is living in a duplex with two of his children, Ellen and John, at 188 Seaside Avenue in Queens, New York.  The other part of the duplex was occupied by his in-laws, the Metropoles. Perhaps his wife Despina died in childbirth.  Still no clue how they came to be buried in Marshfield, Massachusetts.  What was the connection?

Still no clue as to how they came to be buried in Marshfield. What was their connection?
