Of course there is room on the County GenWeb page. I have been thinking about photographing a cemetery myself. Does anybody have a picture of a front gate or overall picture of a cemetery that I don't have? I have been doing a few and others have sent me pictures, but there are lots that I do not have. The cemeteries that I visit are all on the north and east side of the county. Also, I am starting a section with pictures of county landmarks--old buildings, historical markers, etc. I have had some for quite a while and that is going to be my next project.

Cynthia, I have pictures of gates most of the cemeteries I have gone to. I will go thru them within a week and see what I have that you can use on the page. I recently took Savannah, Dean and Lone Star plus a few others. The Dean Cemetery however does not have a gate with a name. I have probably a few hundred pictures of county country side pictures and historical spots (to me) such as old churches, homes, beautiful pastures and trees and barns etc. Maybe I will just bring you a box of pictures sometime and let you pick what you can use. With all of our pictures you should have a great selection to chose from. Jim Giddens East side of Paris at Reno, 1 block south of US 82 across from the Dollar General.
