March 9, 2001 Thanks to all of you for information received so far on the search for the father of Helen Lufburrow (1888-1978). Again, as she told it, her father was a older, wealthy Lufburrow in Savannah who died before or soon after her birth Oct. 1, 1888 there. I think the answer may lie in the Laurel Grove Cemetery on Savannah's westside. A photo of a large crypt there (shown at www. SavannahGeorgia.org) shows the inscription: "MATTHEW M. LUFBURROW/ 1787-1865 / BORN MONMOUTH COUNTY, N.J. / MARY GREGORY LUFBURROW / 1796-1886 / BORN GOLDSBORO, N.C." It appears to be in a walled area that probably contains graves of other family members. My guess is that my wife's great-grandfather is the son of Matthew who died in 1888 and that he was probably buried near his father. I will be away this weekend, so I've I'm slow in replying to email, please understand. Thanks again, Jim from http://excursia.bestreadguide.com/savannah/stories/19990702/att_laurelgrove.sh tml Laurel Grove Cemetery Laurel Grove Cemetery, on the west side of Savannah, is one of Georgia's grand historic graveyards. Established in 1850 on the grounds of the old Springfield Plantation, it holds many of Savannah's and Georgia's most famous historic figures. A pleasant stroll along the wide lanes and shady paths of Laurel Grove opens a world of local history and provides an elegant closure for those personages whose lives have made Savannah the jewel that it is today. ...
