Judith, Could you do a look up for My Great Grandmother and her second husband. They are buried at the old Scotch church. I am missing a few details. They are buried next to each other. When you enter the walkway to the front of the church, they are to your left a few rows in and up front. Do you have anymore info than the transcription? Fred Alvord, d.? Maybelle Alvord d.
