Clara, I think the two field-stone marked graves at the foot of Abraham Lincoln Smith's grave at Ashburn-Burton MAY be my gg grandparents Charles Smith Jr. and his first wife, Alice C. "Alacy" Fisher. Charles's death certificate in 1923 states he was buried at "Burton Cemetery". That is the only Burton cemetery I am aware of in the Silver Point area, and he died in Silver Point. Who should I contact about getting a marker for them?
