Hi Bob, Glad you remember me now : ) Yes that cemetery is called Salem Cemetery - the one next to God's Acre, the Moravian graveyard. And yes my grandparents and great-grandparents are there and I visit there at least once a year when I put flowers on their graves at Easter - it is also about 2 minutes away from my house driving time and I sometimes go walking there. Charles L. (Little) is my great-grandfather and Laura Jane (Hendricks) Bagby is my great-grandmother and on the other side of the Bagby upright stone are Alonzo Bagby my grandfather and Versie (Craver) Bagby my grandmother. Also there is my Uncle Roger Bagby and my great-aunt Ora (Bagby) White and her second husband Lem (Lemual) White and my 2nd cousin Lucille Norman O'Brien Honaker and her first husband William O'Brien I think is there also. There is one space left and it may be where I will have my ashes buried as well some day. Waiting until winter sounds like a good idea on the location so overgrown that the house is covered!!!! I wouldn't go in there either! If not snakes, poison ivy would get you alive! I am still recovering from a bad bout of poison ivy from trying to clear out the "jungle" in front of my house that grows along the stone wall....not fun! No news on the Whitaker line....going to be very very hard to find our Robert and Mary - Baltimore Co. MD seems to be the area to look and the "expert" Jim Drew has been looking through everything and if he can't find anything I seriously doubt any one else can. There are very few available resources here in the library for Baltimore Co. MD and I have looked through them all with no luck. But I'll keep looking..... hope you have a good summer...glad you remember me : ) Susan On Sun, 24 Jun 2001 20:05:53 -0400 "Bob Carter" <gravehunter@triad.rr.com> writes: > Can you say. . . .
