Betty Jane, I didn't find anyone I recognized, but I still want to thank you and Margaret and all the volunteers on this cemetery project. In my opinion, this is the best USGenWeb county site, and the best example of local genealogical societies and Internet researches working together. I'm continually amazed at what you've accomplished. Please do make sure that everyone involved knows how much we appreciate their time and perseverance. For those of us who can't be there in person, it's so important. Thank you!!!
