The article says it has 306 pages, so I would say it is more than an index of cemeteries, graveyards and family plots. I would venture to guess it covers all the graves in the cemeteries, graveyards and family plots at the time of reading them. I am going to order one because my great uncle, Nathanial S. Payne married Sarah Smitherman in Bibb Co., AL. He died in the Civil War. She raised the children in Bibb Co., and never remarried. My great grandfather, Jonathan S. Payne married his first wife, Martha E. Anderson in Bibb Co. That is really all we know about her, she died about 1865-66. We do not know where she is buried. We are not sure of her parents. We know they had 4 children, but do not know the name of one of them. Two of them died about the time she died. He had 2 sons with him when he wrote back to their family in Georgia in 1866, month and date unknown. In April 1868, he wrote about his marriage to Martha Susan Weaver in Autauga Co., GA. Hazel

Hazel, when you get the book how about giving us a description. Those of us who have relied on the cemetery book for years will be interested in knowing if it is a copy. It was copyrighted in 1979 and should still be under the copyright law.
