    3. Ruth Wolfe Wilson asked for the location of Saltillo and the Kyle Cemetery. Here are their latitude and longitude, along with the USGS map sheet on which they can be found: KYLE CEMETERY : cemetery : Lee : 342158N 0884137W : Tupelo SALTILLO : ppl : Lee : 342235N 0884054W : Guntown To look up almost any geographical feature -- streams, cemeteries, towns, etc., -- a very good source is Yale University's Geographic Names Information System. http://www.peabody.yale.edu/other/gnis/ For example, to get a list of all (recorded) cemeteries in Lee County: 1. Enter * [wildcard] in name field. 2. Select Mississippi as state. 3. Select Cemetery as type. 4. Limit search to Lee County. 5. Click Submit. You might want to do another search for churches, since many of the smaller church graveyards are not listed seperately. You can cut & paste the resulting list to WordPad or another wordprocessor and keep it for reference. If you have a GPS unit, you can enter the coordinates and find your way to the spot 4. Another search site is Places Named www.placesnamed.com 5. For other maps and the like, go to Cyndi's List and look under the State (Mississippi) or go direct. http://www.cyndislist.com/ms.htm#Maps Regards, Neil Allen Bristow, San Diego
