Thanks--the whole Huron Co. site is wonderful. > Sarah in NC (I do NC lookups) > > > Sarah Hi Sarah, You will never be sorry to get a HCCI! I love mine. It is the best cemetery book I have ever seen. They did a super job!! Well organized and completely indexed!! So many of the cemetery books are indexed according to cemeteries, well that takes forever!! And if your at an out-of-town library, it is valuable time used to be searching through every cemetery. Also, the cemeteries are listed alphabetically and by townships, WITH with exact directions on finding each cemetery. They have made it very easy to use. Now to your SMITH query. BUTTERFIELD CEMETERY, NEW LONDON TOWNSHIP page 403 Row 9 9 SMITH, John M., d. 1840 aged 42y Emeline, d. 1863 aged 62y [stone says Oberlin] 10 SMITH, John M., In memory of, d. 26 Sept 1840 aged 42y 3m 12d; "Go home my wife, Dry up your tears; I must lie here, Till Christ appears."
