Is there anyone on the list who has access to books of cemetery listings who might be willing to do a lookup for me? I am trying to find Harrison (Harry) and Anna White, who are probably buried in the Richland, Monmouth township, area. Harrison was 67 in the 1900 census, so he probably died sometime between 1900 and 1920. Anna was 55 in 1900, so she probably died sometime between 1900 and 1930. Many thanks. Sharon in NC
