Debbra: Just a few pictures of the general store, a few homes, a couple of shots where I calculated my grandfather's dland was, and a few small cemeteries I ran upon There is an old cemetery about 5 miles north of the general store in Frenchport, turn off a road with an old weather worn sign that points an arrow to the left labled with "cemetery'". Then there were two or three cemeteries to the south of the general store that I got overall pictures of. O saw the Mt Horeb Cemetery when leaving Frenchport and did not have any time to investigate. I have been wishing for one more trip back there.
