H. Alford, Oct. 25, 1825-June 15, 1900. I see Laura E. Alford, wife of H. J. Alford, Jan. 28, 1849-May 12, 1891. I see next in line H. J. Alford, Dec. 23, 1847-Jan. 8, 1928. All in New Hope Cemetery out from Black Hawk, Miss. You could check census listings on J. H. to see if it would help, or a death certificate for H. J., perhaps, or check land deed records? Susie James
