Thank you! We saw the stones for Mary Ann and James today. We could barely make out Mary Ann's other than the name. James' was broken, laying face down beside it, but my husband picked it up and it was in good enough condition that we could read it. There appeared to be several unmarked lots on either side of these two -- We somewhat figured the one we're looking for is unmarked. We weren't aware George and Jane Rudy Ackerman were in S. Shenango. Something to look for on the next trip! Hopefully we'll be able to find it. We found a lot of the stones in that cemetery are unfortunately in very poor condition... Thanks again!

Some of the stones there are over 150 years old! And the cemetery is occasionally subject to vandalism.
