Hi, I am trying to find a list of the persons buried in cemeteries near Follansbee. I am guessing maybe Oak Grove Cemetery. The GenWeb site shows the cemeteries, but only a partial listing. I was wondering if anyone has done a complete listing, or would look up someone for me. My g-grandmother's brother Antony Bronis Krystyniak (Krystynak, Kristynak, etc) lived in Follansbee with his wife and 12 children from about 1916 on. His wife Josephine died in Follansbee in 1976, and I am assuming he died in the area also. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Pat --------------------------------- Yahoo!

They are 16 and 11 and not living with their parents, who also appear in the census, but on prior pages, but with a Buchanan family. I noted that on pages 40 and 41, of the census, many person were listed as "students" and living with other families or together. Was there a large school there that children would have boarded at? Many of the "students"were from other states also. I can not read the name of the town at the top of the pages. Any information would be helpful.
