Thank you so much for your help. I have a completely empty section in my family notebook for Levicy (sp?) - a picture of a headstone would be fantastic. Hopefully it hasn't fallen apart. If you would happen to find an obit (or other little newspaper ditty) for her that would be unbelievable. Another young lady died in the family around 1900 - I only found a little ditty about the school children missing her. But, SOMETHING is better than NOTHING. I think there is a typo in the cemetery book - I think Thomas was 41 instead of 11. **If you would ever happen to come across this name - my husband's gg-grandmother - Lucy (Caywood) Dowty - is supposedly buried in that area too, but I have never been able to find anything for her - if you would happen to stumble across her in your cemetery travels - please keep me in mind. I believe she died around the mid-1850's also. My husband and I have gone to some of the out-of-the-way cemeteries around here lately for a man in Washington. I contacted a headstone maker here and asked him if there was any safe way to be able to read some of the headstones. He told me to take regular "blackboard chalk" and trace around the letters (or inside the letters). He told me that if white didn't work that I could use the colored chalks. That they were completely safe. Don't know if this is of any interest to you...but, thought I would pass it on. I try to tell as many people as possible that might have had the same problem I was having. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I really appreciate any help you can give me.
