This post is a little out-of-date, but it was returned when I sent it a couple of weeks ago. Comcast addresses were being rejected by Rootsweb security or something like that. I've heard that's been fixed and I can communicate again! Judy -- Thanks for the Eller tombstone information. I look forward to seeing them at your link. Is there a chance that Henry and Elizabeth Eller are in the same cemetery? I'm descended from Peter's brother Jacob.

Maybe he wanted to check on the former "Progressives" at Highland Brethren, whose members once belonged to Ten Mile before the split in the 1880s. Whatever caused his tombstone to be removed, he is now "home". It is possible but just a guess that the entire stone toppled, had no "footer", because it is a complete stone in good condition. It extends another half length (as the top half or what the inscription occupies), so there would be 1/4th or more of the bottom that could have been buried under the soil. This church/cemetery took many names over time. Daniel's Run is a creek and a road nearby. But the church is officially called "Ten Mile Church of the Brethren", on Dunkard Road, on the hill above Marianna and between Spring Valley Road and the road to Lone Pine near Amity. As to the date, I'll post the link when I get the pictures online. The older ladies of the DAR took the 1938 readings. Their eyes-- or mine-- could be wrong on the date. You can take a look and see what you think. Judy On Tue, Jun 21, 2011 at 6:11 AM, J.A. Florian <[email protected]> wrote: > Peter Eller (tombstone) > Inscription: > Died Jan.
