Ed, I am so thankful you took the time to send this information. I am sure no one would knowingly harm these old stones, and many including myself, until last year, thought a chalk rubbing would be acceptable. Just recently added a stone to the base of an old upright stone for my great grandfather who lies in AR. Through researching the possibilities of restoring his old stone I ran across this link you shared. It sure opened my eyes and could benefit all genealogist or anyone concerned about the deterioration of the old stones. Thanks again for sharing, Mary Clegg, CA. ----- Original Message ----- From: "E.D.

Hello, The name is Kenner Cemetery, in Maries County, in Dry Creek Township. The location is as you said and is at 38 04 10 N Latitude 91 59 01 W Longitude. It is a large, well kept cemetery. Unfortunately I did not list the burials when I was there. I have pictures of it, but no names are visible in them. However the Kenner Cemetery sign shows well. Paul
