I have a picture of the stone in Cedar Hill and from talking to several citizens of Lebanon, all the bodies were not removed and if you read the stone it says "over 500 citizens of early Lebanon including 32 war veterans sleep here" in other words they are still there. It also reads "the markers were removed" I have a picture of the stone and it is very readable. If anyone would like to see it please e-mail me and request a picture of it. hancock@link2000.net It was considered a "full" cemetery and when a grave was dug, most generally they kept running into an already occupied grave, because many did not have stones and they were digging blindly. So in fact many are still there, there were some that were removed if requested by family. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Anne Cook" <nanny12@geetel.net> To: <INBOONE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, April 01, 2002 4:25 PM Subject: Re: [INBOONE-L] Cedar Hill Cemetery Pg. 2 > Hi Everyone, > I am Mary Anne Cook.

Thanks, I just went to the cemetery and my daughter-in-law and neice got out and read the stone. Since they are not used to doing these things they might have misread it. I have to use a scooter to get around in cemeteries, so the next time I get over there I will park where I can get the scooter out and go through it myself. I am hopeing I can at least find out if the Mary Byroad that was burried there is My 3XGreat Grandmother or an Aunt or cousin. There were several Mary Byroads and all of them married into My family.

Hi Kim, John Byroad, b. 1803 in PA was My GGGGrandfather. Enos and Nancy were My GGGrandparents. The Thomas listed I believe was My GGrandfather, son of Enos Byroad and Nancy Brumbaugh Byroad. His wife was Susan Ullery Byroad, her parents were Allen Ullery and Martha Brown. Thomas and susan were the parents of My Aunt Grace b. 25 December 1880-November 1883, Uncle Edward, b. August 1883-September 1883, Alonzo, Adeline (Addy), and My Grandmother Opal (Pansy) Byroad Purdue. All of the Byroads listed are My Family Ancestors. The Byroads and Purdues were My Mothers side of the family as Pansy was Her Mother. Could I get a full reading on the ones listed as My GGGGrandparents, GGGrandparents and GGrandparents. John Byroad was married to Mary Bollinger Byroad. She died sometime between 1880 and 1890. Hopefully she will be listed on the 1880 census with GGGGrandpa John. Sure wish I could find out if she is the Mary Byroad burried in Cedar Hill and if she was moved or not. I wanted to get over there to the Library today, but could not make it. Will try to get over there as soon as I can.
