    3. As a cemetery where Myracles are buried, Jones Cemetery was one of the first cemeteries I visited beyond the Middleburg and Darden communities. The Jones Cemetery record, made in 1992, is now about the oldest of the resurveyed records on the Henderson County Cemeteries web page. Last December I checked the typed 1992 record against the markers and recorded new markers, planning to update the Jones Cemetery information and convert the cemetery data to the newer format. I have been looking for these notes for the past week. After sorting through and filing about 8 inches of cemetery notes while looking for missing cemeteries, I have come to the conclusion that I have lost a binder with 4 or 5 cemeteries recorded in December, including Jones. While my father is well enough to go along on short cemetery visits, I will not be able to spend the time needed to redo Jones Cemetery. Would someone be willing to check and update the Jones Cemetery record? To check and update I generally print out the older record and punch it to go in a 1/2-inch wide 3-ring binder. I check off each marker as I find it, noting corrections and needed changes if any. I write the information for new markers on the blank backs of the pages. It took me about 8-9 hours split between two trips to check the markers and update the information for Jones Cemetery. It would take about 2 hours solely to update the information from 1992 to 2002 without rechecking older material. David
