Thank you so very,very much. I wondered where Rhoda's grave was and why she wasn't buried with Algernon. I'm forwarding this to my brother Roy, Jr who lives at Lake Royale ,Louisburg. Maybe he can scout out the areas ahead of time. I appreciate everyone's help. And, thank you, cousin. I'm timing my visit so I can be there for my "Aunt" Odell's(Rice/Gardner) birthday. She's the one who raised my dad (I know that you know this Joyce) after his mother died shortly after he was born. She's always been a grandmother to me. I hope a week is long enough!!!! Sure will be a good start-- thanks to all the help I'm getting!!! Thanks again, Trudy (Now how did you know , Joyce that it's supposed to be Trudi??)
