    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3AB.2ACI/6838.1 Message Board Post: Hello, While I cannot be entirely sure, you may be actually thinking of "Resthaven Cemetery" at Keith, Harlan Co vs. Rosehaven Cem. . I have an "annotated" cemetery book that was purchased from the Harlan Heritage Seekers, the genealogical society for Harlan Co., KY. There is a listing that appears to be your Willie JONES. He is located in Section 2, Center (behind Dome), Row 11 that gives this information: JONES, Willie b. 3 Mar 1874; died 22 Jan 1950 - PVT 38 US VOLUNTEER INF (?Spanish-American War?) On the Kentucky Death Index, there is this death record which you could order from several different sources both private and the State of KY: Willie A. JONES lived and died in Harlan Co., KY; Vol. 005, Cert 02434; died "2-22-1950", age 72 years, recorded in 1950. I see that the stone and the age given on the death cert are off by one month. This could be a typo or it could just be that the stone was done incorrectly. I have no way of knowing. Perhaps with his age and by obtaining his death cert, you will be able to learn more about his parentage. Good luck to you. Joyce Taylor Collins La Palma, CA
