Beverly If you can send me your cemetery info, I will gladly post it on the Wayne County website. If you have photos of the gravestones, you can send them too and I will link them into the info like I've done on several of the other cemeteries on the website: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilwayne/Cem/cemintro.htm I have some photos for Farnsworth, Salem, Thomason, Buckeye, Simpson linked in.
