The obit says he was interred "in the cemetery at Stone Mountain". Can someone help me identify which cemetery this might be? His funeral was at "Rock chapel", which might be Rock Baptist. I've searched FindAGrave and other resources but no luck so far. Thanks in advance, Mark Whidby
Mark, What was your ggg-grandfather's name? I have a few Dekalb County cemetery transcriptions I will be happy to check. ----- Original Message ----- From: <markwh@microsoft.com> To: <GA-CEMETERIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2006 1:27 PM Subject: [GA-CEM] Stone Mountain cemetery > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Whidby > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Eo.2ADEAE/429 > > Message Board Post: > > My ggg-grandfather died in 1892 "at his residence near Stone Mountain" according to his obituary.

Linda, His name was Thomas Lemuel Whidby, died 20 Jan 1892. His oldest son, my gg-grandfather William George Whidby, is buried at Decatur cemetery. I've been there last time I was in Atlanta and found his family plot. Another son, Andrew J. Whidby, is at Westview. If you have anything on Andrew (died 16 Dec 1912) that would be appreciated as well. Thank you for checking.
