Well, Ron, I made the trip and have some folks for you. This is a two part cemetery with lots of old stones combined with newer entries. The cemetery was in fine shape and well kept. It's on a rolling hill with numerous old pine trees as well as younger mountain ash. I suspect many cardinals will visit here later in the fall. There were many stones that proved unreadable,however, in the COLBY section, even tho old, were still pretty good with a couple of exceptions. Since you probably already know the birth and death dates, that might not be a problem. I have about 20 or so digital photos, some of the entire headstone and then a close-up of same stone. Here's what we found: Peter COLBY....1802-1887 wife, Lois ALEXANDER...1803-1894 Hume G. COLBY....1863-1952 wife, Katie V.....1873-1935 Huron O. COLBY....1850-1928 There was a Marybelle stone adjacent to Huron, but it was unreadable. Jonas S. COLBY....1827-1911 wife, Sally C.....died 12/31/1876 @ 46yr, 2mo, 9da Jonas ALEXANDER....no stone wife, Matilda....d. 6/28/1850? @ 82yrs. We are pretty certain the last digit is a 0. The stone was actually Matilda's, wife of Jonas ALEXANDER Chapin S. COLBY...12/18/1854-1/17/1925 wife, Eva J....12/18/1861-6/17/1896? We are not sure of the "6". Rose E. COLBY...1876-1965 This stone was with Chapin & Eva Wayne O. COLBY....1902-1996 wife, Mildred E....1907-1987 Jefferson COLBY...1851-1923 Philena COLBY....1851-1932 Clare H. COLBY....1882-1965 These were three small stones in a row...no spousal indication or family association. Please advise as to photos.
