Surnames: FORTNER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DgB.2ACI/872.1.1 Message Board Post: Peggy, I located William T. Fortner, Co H-2nd SC Rifles at the Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond. He is listed as being there but the exact location in the cemetery is unknown. Contact them and ask about your James Thomas Chamblin. Let me know if you have any luck. This is the info that I have received. Mr. Fortner: I'm not an employee of the cemetery, but Cheryl Knaut at Ckaut@hollywoodcemetery.org can help you. The cemetery charges a $100.00 installation fee. Good luck. Chris Ferguson C.L.

I believe that a cousin of mine, who belongs to the Daughters of the Confederacy, said that DOC would provide a marker if a burial site could be identified. His actual grave is unknown I guess. > >Thanks so much for your help. > >Don Fortner > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Chris Ferguson > To: donfortner@charter.net > Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 5:02 PM > Subject: Wm.
