Hi, Roberta, I checked at the Historical Society today but they evidently don't have a card on this Robert or Isabella Thompson. If I find anything on them in our material I'll let you know. I've been trying to make up a file of the annual indexes of several of our old church papers which contained obituaries, to make it easier for myself to find them. I have a considerable number of indexes copied but have a ways to go. The work at the cemetery is progressing but still in progress. If I find more names on stones, I'll let you know. The status of the road to the cemetery is now in the process of being reviewed by an attorney, and when I hear the results I will pass it on. The property around the cemetery was sold last year (unknown to me) without excepting the cemetery in the legal description, so some correction will have to be made somehow. I'll let the attorneys work that out, and help them if they ask me. Sincerely, Robert On Thu, 3 Jun 2004 23:16:42 EDT [email protected] writes: > Hi Robert, > Hope you had a good day at the cemetery.
