    3. I have the following info via a lookup from the Giles County Cemetery Book: Elk Ridge Cemetery: Name Birth Death Other Inscriptions James Meadow ? May ? in the 76th yr of his age Elizabeth Meadow 1828 in the ?? Of her age; consort of James Does anyone live in the area and have access to this cemetery? I was wondering if there were a possibility of squeezing more data from those two tombstones via more modern techniques (or perhaps someone already has more complete data). I know that some of the cemetery books done years ago did not use any techniques to bring out old engravings on the tombstones. (Marsh's book for Bedford County is a good example.) I have found that things that were once thought illegible become visible with the use of shaving cream and a squeegee.
