Is this cemetery also known as Cemetery Hill? If so, my gg grandfather William Blevins (and possibly other Blevins relatives--Luke, Prudence, Lily/Lillie/Lillian George Washington, Martha--are buried there) I have William's death certificate with his birth/death dates, which migth be fading from his headstone (I doubt it though as he as only been dead about 70 years). As you are working on the stones in the cemetery, and run across markers you are having trouble reading, maybe you could post what you have here. Someone on the list, might recognize the bits of info and be able to help you, and at the same time you might have helped them find the grave of someone they are looking for. Will your work result in an index of everyone buried there? Thanks in advance, not just for your reply, but for the wonderful, important work you do.
