Mary Ann, when you came down to visit in June, did you go to the Mckenzie Cemetery? Marilyn ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour
Hi, Yes, we did go to the McKenzie Cemetery, also Albion, Cuthand, and Fairview. I'd stupidly left all my papers at home, and was pretty dumb about what I wanted to know. We also went to the County clerk's office at Clarksville. It was a little much for me to try to research with Karen & Nell wanting to "help" & I didn't know who I was looking for, because I'd left my papers in MI. I won't make that mistake again! The days we visited cemeteries, it had been rainy & they were pretty muddy, with uncut grass. I think they'd been recently mowed, but the rain made the grass sprout up again. Tommy Mauldin has been very helpful to lookup things for me. I see the Dales have a new set of books out, which I might consider. Hope all is going well with you. Things are fine here. We're very concerned & worried about Bill & Dorothy, of course. I know things aren't good for them & the information that Mom passes on really doesn't make a lot of sense. I don't know if she's messing it up when repeating it, or what. Keep in touch, Love, MA

MaryAnn, I made a dry run at the McKenzie Cemetery. I did not expect to make the stop and was not prepared with my weed-wadding boots and my note from you. The small cemetery was up to waist high weeds and I could not remember the name of the grave I was looking for. I looked over the markers the best I could but a few of the markers, I could not make out. I took pictures with my new digital of about 4 or 5 of them, but I still can not read them any better. I see now I was looking for Lizzie Burkett. Most of the markers are of McKenzie graves and several are Dawson. I will try again soon, and be better prepared.
