It was a gorgeous fall day here and my trip to Elmwood Cemetery was thoroughly enjoyed! I did not have any luck locating the graves that I was searching for.....most of the stones in that area are gone. But, I did get the info on Jos Emmerich....Burial date 4/2/1882. He is in Section T 624 #1 I did not see Mary E. Emmerich listed, but here are the other Emmerich's. Infant of Joe 5 days 7/26/1871 Joseph 16 7/12/1885 Pauline 25 8/9/1899 Miss Tillie 97 3/12/1961 Bobbie -----Original Message----- From: Bobbie Rennie <bobbierennie@prodigy.net> To: TNSHELBY-L@rootsweb.com <TNSHELBY-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, November 25, 1998 10:11 PM Subject: Re: Memphis Funeral Home >I checked the 1885 City directory and found this: >HOLST J.
