    2. It is disheartening to hear about little cemeteries being destroyed, but there are also happy tales. Several years ago I found an ancestor was buried on a corner of a farm in Brown County, OHIO. When I drove into the people's driveway, the 10 year old son of the owner came out...and on questioning him about the grave, his chest puffed up...and he said, "I take care of Lizzie!" I'll show you where she is!" With his parents watching, he guided me to the spot, a small fenced in area with about six graves there. Two had standing stones and the grass had been trimmed, the whole site in beautiful condition. I tried to give the boy a reward for his efforts...and he said, "No thank you, ma'am. Lizzie's MINE to take care of!" Nikki
