I don't mind giving my sources. Unless you can prove it isn't much good, only a start. I do have a copy of Walter's will and will scan and send in a few days.

There is a row of graves marked with fieldstone plus several scattered graves. Jean, I imagine that the small infant grave is one of the 2 children that Sarah and Francis must have had that died in infancy. I had found the obit for Sarah in my meanderings and had it saved for Linda but seeing the cemetery listing prompted me to go ahead and transcribe it for those who might want it. I have several other Lanthorn clippings that I may post , one is a reunion. Cheryl Be Well, Do Good Work , Keep In Touch __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
