Greetings one and all, I do have another minor update. Today while doing the Emmart Family Cemetery, I decided to stop at the horse ranch down the road, I believed it is called the North River Stables or something like that, really didn't look. I talked with Susie, a or the manager of the place. She told me that she was told that there is one across the road from the ranch. She told me to make a right out the gate, do down the split rail fence until you come to the pond on the right. The cemetery she was told was across the road up on the hill. I walked the hill for a little bit, there were plenty of stones/rocks, but nothing that I could call a cemetery. I will look into this more in the future. I will place a [C] on the map program where I was told it was. Wayne of Capon Bridge. At 04:25 PM 10/4/2002 -0400, you wrote: >Greetings one and all, > >I updated the Presbyterian webpage today.
