Benny, I'd like to have a copy of that picture of Elizabeth and Marvel. Elizabeth was married to Harry's g-grandpa Kirk. I have one picture of her but none of Marvel. http://www.geocities.com/deadpoet_2000/kirkcemetery.html That's the cemetery link to what I call the Pat Kirk Cemetery,now. Harry and I have 2 babies buried there. His aunt Iris Williams owns that property. I am interested in the Caldwell Cemetery up Piney. I think it is the one I cal the Old Marvel Elkins Cemetery because he was the first one buried there( according to Harry's papaw Kirk. A few years ago, Harry and I went to the "Haulbush" (Greg McCann owns that property, but for years his papaw, Pat Kirk did). We were looking for Marvel Elkins's grave http://www.geocities.com/harts_lions/haulbush.html See if this looks like the same one to you. Phyllis WBMPAPAW@aol.com wrote: Phyllis, i know what you are saying because there are so many old unmarked graves of our ancestors. The one across the road and creek from Buster Kirks old home place is one for example, Buster always said that the only place to bury someone was near the back since the rest was full of unmarked graves. My dad have two small brothers buried there. Another one is the Caldwell Cemetery on up Piney and that is where Elizabeth Kirk is buried, my first cousin Ida McCloud who is 84 told me that she went with grandma Christeanna to decorate her mom's grave (back in the 40's) and that she was buried on the upper side of the cemetery near the upper end and there are only rocks there for markers. Elizabeth was a Maynard and married a Kirk then Marvel Vance. By the way i have a picture of Elizabeth and Marvel taken about 1890. Yes, i spent almost 30 years working for the gas company mostly in the southern part of WV and parts of KY. Thanks Bye Benny ============================== Search the US Census Collection.
