Some historical societies keep a Death Card Index which often contains the tombstone inscription. You might try the local historical society, which is probably the Gloucester Co Historical Society. You could also write to the cemetery to see if they have that info. Also, check the Rootsweb page for Gloucester Co. (http://www.rootsweb.com/~njglouce/) to see if there are any volunteers who will do the research or even the rubbing. -----Original Message----- From: the Ballerstedts <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Friday, July 09, 1999 8:00 AM Subject: [NJGLOUCE-L] Tombstones in Cedar Green Cem. >Eureka!
