Does anyone know when the old log church and cemetery originated? My wife's gggrandfather Leander Doyle bought land in Sec 35 T39N R10W in May, 1858. He apparently died before 1860 as his wife Milly Jane (Copeland) Doyle is on the 1860 Maries census as a widow. We have no info on when, where, or how he died. Would that cemetery have existed in 1858? Any further info greatly appreciated Cliff Metcalf ----- Original Message ----- From: Melinda K.
