Izetta, Thanks for the reply. The one closer to the house with the knocked over markers must be the original Evan Hiett Cemetery. Kerns said that the Joseph Hiett marker had been knocked down by livestock shortly after his 1987 visit and photo. If the cattle have been tramping over it for 15+ years, it may be broken into a few pieces by now and even buried under nature's debris. I hope that Wayne can do both cemeteries when you go there with him. By the way, I got a kick out of Wayne telling you to cut your grass a few months ago on the list. You're lucky to have had enough rain for the grass to grow. We in Cincinnati went from early June to mid-Aug with no rain. Elaine Izetta Barbour wrote: > Elaine, I do not have a Joseph Hiett listed.

Elaine, I think Wayne is doing a great job at finding these cemeteries.It would be great if a lot more people would have that kind of interest. Maybe we could find more of our ancestors. I know I am hoping that someday he will find where some of mine are buried. I thought the grass cutting reminder was cute also. I also like his stories that he tells about his adventures on hunting the cemeteries.
