Thanks Judy. I am sure it is in the book and I did have it but I no longer do. I have acsess to another copy. As I recall, James, who is one of the oldest burials is not in that book. Yours may be in the same lot but there are others in another area. You as well as your mother would be of great intrest to me and of great importance to the cemetery.... I would have to beg for your involvement on my hands and knees because next to Mrs. Mcelroy, you and you mother could very well be the ancestors of the oldest known marked burial in the cemetery. Let me go up there on sunday and write down all in his lot and send it to you to see if they are yours. Please consider coming to the tour as that lot is on the list of items in the tour. Do you know if you are related to Johnny Fowler? Former city councilman. He may also be a tie but I think he is rather un aproachable these days.
