Good Morning Bob, Your March Speaker, is he a decedent of James Dye who in 1903 purchased the Rosemary Plantation from the Lassiter's? On the road between the Thomas Station and the Rosemary Creek? Did you know an old cemetery was found on that property, only three gravestones were there, but according to the report, 30 indention's were visible? This maybe the cemetery I have been looking for. It's in the area that I'm convinced the Lassiter Property was. I'm still searching for photographs of the Lassiter's and or their property. William E. Lassiter was president of the Alexander Academy just before the civil war, I'm hoping to find either a class photo or a photo of him in front of the school. Sincerely, Rosemary ROBERT L.
