Thanks to all of you for your suggestions for reading hard-to-read gravestones, some of which were interesting inventions. Two, however, were significant for all of us to remember and those were the ones by Joyce pertaining to getting permission to enter private cemeteries and the second by Pat Regan who advised us against techniques that might damage gravestones. Pat is a professional genealogist and one who has made many contributions to struggling Lewis County researchers such as myself. Ken Everard
