Thanks, thats it !!! I should have stated that I found the cemetery, but later wondered about "The Chapel". I have a few letters writtened in the 1930's, telling the location of this cemetery, being in Grassy. I have one of them, stating it was near "the chapel", so I assumed it was a church, but after viewing, no church in sight. It's consists of 4 graves. A fellow researcher found the cemetery and she gave me exact directions. Go on 460 past Index from West Liberty, and turn right on 704, drive 1.1 mile, and turn into what looks like a driveway, and go a couple hundred feet, and a road goes left, up the hill. Walk [or 4 wheel drive] up to the top and the graves are located on the right side. My gr gr gr grandpa & mother, William Granville "Buck", and Henrietta Brooks Short, are there also their son and his wife. Alexander, and Molly Dunsmore Short. All were buried in the 1870's. One unlegible tombstone, for Alexander. All four graves are sunken. Using my common sense, [sometimes a problem] this indicates to me, the quality of the wood then available, that was used to build these coffins. The earlest grave was 1871, and the last one 1879. So with the graves, being about 130 years old, the sinking must have happened later, not sooner. Todays wood would have let go quick, and in 50 or 75 years I would think the sunken graves would have had time to fill up. Buck
