I live in Springboro, very near Centerville, and would be willing to try to find this grave, if someone can fill me in on the details of exactly where the cemetery is and what grave I'd be looking for. I can't guarantee exactly when I'd get there, with rain in the forecast for the next week, but I've done this for others in the past, and am willing to try again.
