Thanks for the info. Do you happen to know whether any of the Barnum family is buried there? One of Jay's daughters married a Robert O. Barnum. To the best of your knowledge are any of Jay's descendants or his brothers' descendants residents of the area? If so, I would like to contact them. Thanks.

GMF I believe you mean the Wildwood Cem. in Lyons Falls. Jay and his wife Lou Jones are buried there, which is not online. Ron

Mrs Lynn Parker, nee Marion Markham, daughter of Jay Markham, died 22 Nov 1948 in the Faxton Hospital. Her burial is indicated to be in "the Lyons Falls Cemetery." Are there online any burials in that area? Is there a cemetery that is called the Lyons Falls cemetery? Are there known to be any descendants of Jay Markham living in the area? Thanks.

After working at a daily newspaper for 24 years, I know something about typographical errors. It could have been a mistake by the undertaker when it was given to the paper or it could have been a printers' error.--Fritz **************Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?
