Having lately been involved with the photographing and data basing of cemeteries I have found a couple of graves with some who seem totally unrelated (although I have not done a thorough search of these families) I wonder if they aren't even very good friends who are alone or even a cousin of some kind. the ones I am talking of are mentioned on the headstone so not paupers graves. Raymond I would like to know the difference between, private, public and paupers. My impression would be - private, large family plots, public in the general area and paupers would be unmarked in any way with a number of unrelated people. But then I have never really thought about that side before.
