Mrs Leroy Hutchings (Ethel) Treasure: of Brasher Cemetery Fund. Seems you could find some one who works with the Brasher cemetery and could re-read the head stone for you. Most likely has to be read wrong. As I told you in the other e-mail...Lucy has passed. Pat susan lane wrote: > Pat, Is Mrs. Moore still living? > I already knew about Lydia.

Pat, I have been told by someone who lives there the cemetery is in bad shape and many of the headstones have disintegrated. I live about 500 miles away, but do plan on going there in the next couple of months. I have a lot of info on this family, but need to visit to make certain there isn't more. I was told there was nothing at the court house on these people, but I know there has to be records of land, marriages, etc. I will feel better getting the info myself, then I will know for certain. If you wnt me to search something for you, let me know and I will do it when I go. Susan (I have a lot of Graves descendents living in OR and my sister lives in Idaho.) ----- Original Message ----- From: Pat Kennedy <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 06, 2001 9:16 PM Subject: Re: [MORAY-CGA] Brasher Cemetery > Pat Kennedy wrote: > > I looked at the 1985 hand written listing that Lucy Moore sent to me.
