If Randolph means county I doubt this is my kin because I believe she lived in Preston Co.
Barb To the best of my knowledge, there is no Randolph in Preston County, so I suppose this is Randolph County. Your Margaret Hartzell (maybe one of my relatives) is very elusive. According to where she lived and family members, it is logical that should have been buried in the old cemetery at Mt. Moriah, Valley Point. The site has been reused. One body is known to have been removed to the new (current) Mt. Moriah Cem. As far as I can learn, there were no markers with names in the old plot. Or it could have been the Falkenstine cemetery with no marker and this site has also been trashed.
