Some relatives have told me that both Rowland and Mary are buried in Delano Cemetery aka the old Savage Farm, some say that only Mary is buried there, and some say that Mary is buried on flat land and Rowland is buried on the side of a hill. If I were on that famous quiz show and asked if Rowland and Mary were both buried in the same plot, I would have to walk away. It would be nice if some non-relative would take a stroll through the Delano Cemetery and give an impartial, unbiased and objective report. Oh yes, and a picture to prove that Rowland and Mary (Richardson) Powell are really buried there. Cousin Charlie __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
