Kate, I was visiting that area last month and I was told to just pull onto the grassy edge of the cemetery. You have to be careful of traffic and not getting too far off the road and onto a grave but it wasn't that much of a problem to get out and tour the cemetery. Also it looked like the house next door was empty so the 2nd visit I made I parked in that driveway figuring noone would care if their was no one living there. If you don't know where the people are actually buried in the cemetery you can go to Briggs Library (Hamner /Generalogy Room) and they have a map to help you locate the graves. The Hamner Room has a lot of genealogy information that you might want to check out too. Good luck. -----Original Message----- >From: brandiwynem@peoplepc.com >Sent: Oct 27, 2008 10:48 AM >To: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com, ohlawren@rootsweb.com >Subject: Re: [OHLAWREN] White Cottage Cemetery > >Kate, >Even if White Cottage is on private property, all it would take is asking >the owner for permission which I am sure will not be denied.
