I have seen that there is a Lone Oak Cemetary and an  addition.  Are they at the same site? Thomas Drew's place of death was listed as Lock 11 or Lock H.  There seems to be a little dot between the two 1's that looks like a  crossbar.  I've googled both an all I am coming up with is Byrd and a lock  at Gallopoli Ferry but even the old part is listed as built in the 1920's or  30's which is too new for Thomas to have worked there.  He was a mason so  that would be a logical place for him to work.  I would really like to get  a specific place if I could.  It meant something in 1898.  I would like to get the death certificate to see what the original  says.  Someone must have given information.  Someone buried him even  if it was the county.  Would someone have that address? Thomas is my great great grandfather and abandoned his family in  Canada to run off and start another family.  We knew this but didn't know  where other than somewhere south on the east coast.  I know he ended up  with family and someone called me but got the answer to their question and hung  up before I could say anything. Thomas' death cause was listed as drunkeness.  I doubt he was  living with anyone at that time but someone knows the rest of the  story. Thank you for reading.
