Jeff and Clyde, this is a really interesting story and I'd like to know the answer to a question that I've asked many people: WHERE IS THE WARD CEMETERY??? I'd like to go there on one of our next little excursions. I think there's two Ward cemeteries. Melody > Hey Clyde, > I believe that the source of my information was there.
