I believe we all really appreciate the tremendous efforts of Barry in personally and physically researching all the cemeteries and then spending the time to put that data online.? For those of us who are out of town, his website? has been a great resource. When Barry put the Bailey cemetery online,?it brought tears to my eyes?and I thanked him for providing the picture since I could now visit there any time I wished.? The view in the photo transported me back to those hills where my sweet?mother, dear grandmother?and?ancestors rest. Thank you again, Barry.
