Sally, There is no cross reference for maiden names in the "Our Links to the Past" so would you please send me the surname of your grandfather and I'll be happy to check for La Vada/Vada. There is a John C. Walton buried in Mt. Sinai Cemetery. It shows that he was born on April 8, 1860 and died on July 16, 1927. Savannah E. Walton, b. October 11, 1865: d. Janaury 30, 1912 is buried next to him. Their dates seem to fit the time frome you mentioned. There are at least three other John C. or J.C. Walton's listed but the times frames do not fit. Sincerely, Gerry
