Marc: I may be wrong about the putting in the street at this moment in time as my step-father was born in 1904. Perhaps they widened the street -- I'm not sure and he has been dead 10 years, so I can't ask him. Not sure when the cemetery went in but my relative was buried there in 1895. So it at least is from that era. My Fairview family members are a little later than that. Jim Owston Marc Stauffer wrote: > Ok - that gives us an even earlier date.
