Yes, Vee You are correct and I'm glad you couldn't wait. I was going to respond but knew Oakmont didn't sound right, and hadn't had a chance to look it up yet. The office is to the right as you drive in the gates. Yes, the lady at the cemetery is VERY, VERY nice, (I should have gotten her name) When I told her I was coming straight home to post to my list how nice she had been she said she enjoyed helping people with genealogy. The only drawback is that all the records are stored in a bound books by years and she has no way of copying them so be prepared to write the information out.
