    1. Re: Catfish Cemetery in Paris area
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lg.2ADE/1114.1 Message Board Post: I have been in direct contact with Mrs. Krell, but thought I should post here just in case anyone else is interested. I know the location of the defunct Catfish cemetery and have been through it several times while restoring my 3rd great-grandparent's (Henderson and Elizabeth Cook) and a great granduncle's (Charles T. Kees) gravestones. This is an extremely difficult cemetery to find. One must drive over private property and the cemetery is well hidden from the road. I estimate that 50 - 70% of all markers there are beneath ground. Of the markers above ground, probably only 20%, at most, are readable on the surface (perhaps some cleaning or restoration could salvage a few). Fortunately the Embarrass Township still mows the grass. Anyone wishing detailed directions is welcomed to email me. All I ask in return is that anyone running across a Kees or Cook in this cemetery or anywhere in the area please let me know.
