wonderful. Anyone with such things I would love a scan ! I want to develop a album for all the schools and am working on a list. I will start again on things monday. The other day I uploaded a page that promply disappeared when the backup computer at rootsweb went offline. I give up for a short while till I get the go ahead. I am familiar with Dr.Holmes name but not too much on his columns and would love them. I heard that he had a cemetery at one time that was a family cemetery originally just to the west of the overpass near 121 and 69 intersection. But that when the railroad and such things were built they moved them into the Burns cemetery. Is that true? Susan I would love anything of Grayson also. The two counties are part and parcel. Like two pieces of a puzzle they rely so much on each other and the history roots are intertwined.
