Thanks Jim: I appreciate all the help that you and Sam have extended. My grandmother Bennie Collier Diseker Bruce is buried in Woodland Cemetery and Bennie has a marker (tomb). I was trying to go through the back door and maybe find out who Bennie's parents were, if the Reynolds Funeral Home was still in business or was purchased by someone. There is one thing that I have found out during my research, the Disekers were there in the 1880 thru 1900 then they scattered, or died. I have not been able to visit via snail mail, phone or the internet with any one that knew anything creditable about my Disekers. I will keep plugging along and once again thanks for your information. If you stumble across anything on the Diseker's give me a buz. Thanks again.
