Jack, I seem to remember Daisy Lane as being near Old Ford Rd. But it's not on my only map of New Albany, which is part of the 1876 state atlas. I do see a large cemetery on that map, which must be the Fairview. All street names aren't on the map, but I see the cemetery bordered on the East by 8th St, on the south the by street due north of Shelby, and has a railroad running through the northern boundary. Any of those landmarks may have changed in 125 years, of course. The Floyd Co map in this atlas also shows crosses for cemeteries. I imagine you have checked this map before, among others. I have all the deeds for the cemetery in question, have some maps to show S, T, and R, but haven't gone to the assessor yet. One problem I have to resolve is related to vague wording on a deed; another is that this matter appears to be unpopular with the county officials. Some of them have erred and don't want to take responsibility for their actions. I have all relevant documents in existence for this cemetery, including records of the association. I can proceed when I think I have all relevant information. My gr gr aunt and her husband donated the second portion of land.
