Hi Lisa, I took pictures of that wall years ago but I lost them when I moved along with a lot of other pictures. I would love to have copies of the ones you took. Thank you Rae From: Lisa Frederick-Hughes <lisafred24@sbcglobal.net> Reply-To: tnscott@rootsweb.com To: tnscott-l@rootsweb.com Subject: [TNSCOTT] Mossop Memorial Cemetery, Scott County, Tennessee Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2007 05:51:33 -0700 (PDT) I have taken pictures of all the graves in the Mossop Memorial Cemetery if any body needs one. I have forwarded to Tim West and he will of course put on the "tngen" site but I don't know when that will be so if you need one in the mean time just let me know. I also took pictures of the Veterans Memorial if any one needs pictures of that. I took one picture of the entire wall which is quite large and had to be taken from a distance to see it all so you cannot make out the names. I also took pictures of each group (by which war they served) so that you can see all of the names.
