    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: BROWN, LACEY, AVARA, WELLS Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GJB.2ACE/31.1.1 Message Board Post: Thanks so much for your response to my query. I apologize for the delay in responding, but my motherboard died and it has taken a lot to get my computer set up again. This photo was made in Fellowship Cemetery. I do not think this is your Aunt Susan Wells Avara. The death date on the tombstone is 1902. This appears to be a young woman and I would guess that it was made sometime between 1902 and 1918. There is a distant link in my family tree to a Jane Elizabeth Avara (1839-1910) who married Elijah Lacey....whose daughter Sarah Elizabeth Lacey (1867-1891)married John Rufus Brown, etc. However, it obviously wasn't her daughter either! My information is that Jane was from Georgia and died in Eldorado, Okalhoma. Her first husband was a constable in Lauderdale county. He was clubbed to death by a convict. There is probably a connection here to all of these Avara ancestors, but that is all I know at this time. Good luck finding your Aunt Susan!
