Mr. Jordan, I don't live in Dallas County, but plan to visit in the next few weeks. I will check and see what I can find for you. I will be visiting Live Oak Cemetery while I am there. I will be taking pictures for several people. If you will let me know what you need, I would be glad to do it for you - $1.00 per picture and $10 for other research per hour. marydavis@prodigy.net -----Original Message----- From: J.
