    1. How to Correct Name on Tombstone
    2. Kevin Arnold
    3. I recently came across a website that provided pictures of the markers in Switzer Cemetery, located beside the North Fork Baptist Church in Franklin County. (The address is http://letsbehappy.net/David's%20GENEALOGY/switzercem1_files/switzercem.htm) I noticed that my g-g-grandfather's name is misspelled - they have a middle initial of O, but it should be Q. I have all the documentation to support the fact that it should be Q. The marker has obviously been replaced, given its condition and the date of death 1903. According to the gentleman who maintains the website, someone by the name of Clyde Hart probably was the one responsible for replacing it, using his own money during the 1970s. So my question is... How can I go about having the marker corrected? Can I simply contact a local monument company and have them do it? If so, could anyone recommend a trustworthy company? I live too far away to investigate myself. Thank you, Kevin Arnold http://arnold-history.org
