Since I posed that question, Howard McKamey took me to the Midland Cemetery, and we took a few pictures of stones of his relatives and others of interest. One thing we noted was the large number of deaths, around 1933, of servicemen interred there. While we wondered, neither of us came up with an answer. If anyone knows why so many servicemen died around 1933, we'd appreciate knowing the reason. -- Regards, with regrets to Netscape6 users (what a mess!)
