Check out the familysearch.com free 1880 index and census search for Harvey. I tried and I found a Harvey Gipson in KY b. 1868 and looked up the original on ancestry.com to see if they just keypunched the name incorrectly. It looks like Gipson with a tall "p" like it's both b and p together so it might be the correct family but I think you should check it out on familysearch.com . At least it's a start for KY. Let me know if you have any problems.

Hi, I am new to this list and was wondering if anyone does obituary look ups? Thanks, Debi Harrington

I get orange oil at a gardening center because I use it with my herbal preparations and to clean house with ( thats the Thyme part of my Roots & Thyme byline on my emails, my favorite hobbies.) You can get it in small amounts at any place they sell essential oils but it is less expensive though large bottles at gardening centers. I can help you figure out what to do with all your leftover oils if you buy a big container! It is good for a lot of things. You probably could use vinegar water to scare them also but I've not tried it. Porters needs a lot of tombstone repair, cleaning isn't much to do because killing the lichen out of old tombstones does more damage than leaving it. I use flannel and just buff off the outside lichen. The broken ones take more work . There are at least two ( maybe more , my memory fails me, above ground crypt covers on the right side of the cemetery ,that someone drove a car over many years ago. ( I heard someone did that in the 60's and did a lot of the big damage) it cracked them up. I was wishing I had a way to get and mix cement and then 'fill' the main empty box of the grave cover and place the broken outside shell on top of that with epoxy. I haven't looke at this in years but they may be in the same shape. Sand filling won't work as it could wash out or worse provide a fine animal burrow. That metal marker may have some marks on it or the name of the home. Maybe it will unlock the records for another missing touch of info. I have a bunch in the Porters list that are only found in records and I've not found their stones. Hopefully yall will uncover some more. I sure am hoping your group will photograph each stone and send me a copy as well as a picture of the group in action, check the Coontown listing in the site and I can fix pages for the Porters assoc. the same. Since the stones are nearly gone in some cases, taking their pictures would be a really good thing. So many folks will never be able to get back there. I wish I owned the land there and lived on the road it would be fun to raise roses around the cemetery and fence it properly . I've got a bunch of stories in my head told to me over the years by several people but especially Mr. Euell Garner , b. in 1904. He died at 96 and 'did his sangin' at Porter's mostly. They had " Chautauqua's" there . He loved to tell about them, this was in the 1920-and 30's. Though I forgot most of the names he would tell about he mentioned Herman Tilger being one of his best friends who appeared in most of them. Herman could 'dance like fred astaire' according to Mr. Garner. Anything he wanted to dance he could do it. At this time movies were still silent! and Fred didn't come along till later but Herman could watch someone do a dance in Dallas or in a silent movie and then copy it in one try. Mr. Garner could sing. Though I only heard what was left of his elderly voice in my mind I went back in time. If I was a swearer I would swear I could practically smell the leather harness's on the horses tied around the old chapel for these performances. Going out there I can easily imagine what a fine place it was and what an important place. I wish it was restored and wish the church was still there . They had singings there for everyone , it was the place to go courting a lot of 'sparking ' happened in the wagon yard and the long rides home or walks home were treasured. He lived around Medlintown and had to walk everywhere for a long time. Eventually got a Model T. finally he met Mae Moats while going to the Chautauqua over there ( the 'circuit' was Pilot Grove ( in grayson co.) to Porters chapel and sometimes over to Grove Hill or Shady Grove) He sang many a time to me from his wooden kitchen chair bits of the old songs from long ago. When he died in 99 his son gave me a gift so that chair is in my home. Sometimes I just grin from ear to ear I ( here I go swearing again! ) sware I hear the tune' Tie your apron strings around me again mother..' Herman no doubt was a handsome man and could dance rings around anyone at Porter's .I wish I had a picture of Mr. Garner and Mr. Tilger. If anyone comes on these performers at the Porters I would love to put it up. There were some sisters who did duets, a couple of folks into magic trickery, mostly singers and some dancers who did routines. They wore silk tophats and tails. Some of the shows were done in blackface but most were not. A couple of piano and violinist were around. There were no regular dances though, these happend in folks yards or barns and eventually at school buildings. the church was too small and that was a bit racy. Porter's cemetery sat there within hearing distance of the little schoolhouse and the chapel. The sounds of both would waft through the air there . I'ts a happy place to me. Full of life and living memories. I always park down on the main road and walk in. It's a long walk but a beautiful one. I've been there when nighfall came and had to walk back that was a little dangerous but pleasant in the moonlight. I'ts a lovely place. Cleaned and repaired or not its a happy place to me.

OK, John, your remedy might work if you can stand to get close enough to the dog to get the tomato juice on him.

Thanks Susan, Your hints will be helpful. I am especially interested in the skunk remedy. Where do you buy orange-oil? We will be careful and try not to disturb, destroy or damage the graves or stones. Yes, there is a lot of stones that have been toppled over. I saw one metal marker that was laying in the dirt deteriorating, not even sure it belonged where it was laying.
