Seattle's KIRO-TV just reported that the Snohomish Co WA Sheriff's Office's "evidence people" had been looking for the original burial place of Maggie Lloyd "for a year", since finding the stone on an abandoned home lot in or near Lynnwood. Within hours of the TV report asking for the public's help they started receiving calls from genealogists telling them the name of the cemetery where the stone had been stolen from three decades ago. At the request of the cemetery's caretaker, the report did not identify the "small pioneer cemetery in King County". Newsfilm showed graves of Maggie's reported family members: parents James M. Lloyd (1860-1936) and Eliza Ann (1867-1944), sister Hannah E. (Lloyd) Allen, b 10 Apr 1885, d 16 Jan 19??, brother David John Lloyd, 1886-194? (1948?). ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, September 23, 2005 1:37 PM Subject: [WASNOHOM] LLOYD recent stolen tombstone > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VEC.2ACI/3834 > > Message Board Post: > > Sno Co Sheriff's Office seeking to find which cemetery a recently found > tombstone may have come from: > Maggie A.
