Anne: Not sure about any of this. But like the way you give information. So will do some checking on this one also. You seem to have some information on this one, but are you able to get beyond this one to say his grandpa or great grandpa? You have some children, so I am presuming you have information from them forward.Need to check the latest cememtary listings on this one I think. I am sure you know a lot of research is on line to help in the cemetary area of our so-called excavations. (smile). Take it from me, I use to go to the cemetaries and photograph everyone even close to my own folks there. Now when I go, I get em all...Which can take a lot of time and effort.
