Hi all, I'm off on my trip back to Dade Co. tomorrow. HELP!!!! I've misplaced my directions on how to get to Vaughn Cemetary where many of the NEWKIRS and COURTNEY's are buried from Greenfield and Dade Co. Can someone please resend those or give me the directions again. Thank you soooo much!

Newkirk/Riddick Hello Everyone, Lori ([email protected]) has passed to me a memoriam for Elizabeth Ruddick Newkirk, wife of Abraham Taylor Newkirk. She died in 1931. In the memoriam it says "She united with the Quaker or Friends church in early childhood and remained in the faith until her death." I had not heard of any Quaker MMs in the Ozarks or Dade and Lawrence Co specifically, but I could have missed something. I know that some of the Indiana/Ohio transplants to Kansas and Nebraska began large Quaker communities. Were there any Quaker meetings in the area? I am assuming she probably practiced quietly at home and participated in local community and church activities to the extent it was in keeping with her faith. Many of the sizeable Greene Co TN (non German) folks had strong Quaker heritages, but I know for one, that my mother had no idea about hers. Thanks, Janet Hunter

Lori, this is in addition to the directions given to you previously. The iron sign that you used to be able to see from the road is not as visible as before. There has been a new house built basically in front of the sign. Since there is not road sign, if you feel that you've gone too far, you probably have. We stopped at a party store and asked for directions and we had gone about 5 miles too far. I've only been there once to check out the gravestones.
