Very interesting. We just visited the Norman cemetery several weeks ago and according to the books, the McDowell cemetery is very close by. I'll see if I can locate it. Was Obediah Eason a Civil War veteran? If so, we can get a free government marker to place at his grave. My cousin is very good with "grave dowsers" and he could verify if there are any unmarked graves there.
