    1. [WVHAMPSH-L] Old Presbyterian cemetery

    3. "removed to this plot, July 1941" --- might there be: 1. Presbyterian Church records - (board minutes?) detailing the decisions regarding this 'removal' ? 2. If the stones, and remains (if there were any) were moved from property in the City of Romney to another property also in the City of Romney wouldn't City Hall records for July 1941 have some mention of this activity? 3. In Nebraska, when graves are moved the county coroner must be present. Would that have been the case in Hampshire County in July 1941? 4. As this would apparently have involved several persons and at least a day or two in July, 1941, would there be some mention of the activity in the Romney newspaper? Is it possible that some interested member of the Hampshire County Historical Society would help you with searching out records of this event? 5. If the "Shafer Funeral Home in Romney" assisted in the 'removal' their records may give the best details available. Regards, Clara in NE

    3. Those are excellent suggestions from Clara in NE, but Good Luck getting the "Historical Society" there to do anything one would expect a historical society to do. Wayne, the Hampshire Co. Library has microfilms of old Hampshire Reviews, filed by date. Just ask the librarian. The reader is in their genealogy room on the second floor. I'm sure there would be something in the newspaper of that time period.
