John, GNIS mapping shows Vale at map coordinates 375249N, 804319W. I was unable to find it on a map but these coordinates would place it about 8 to 10 miles (by air) southwest of Rupert. It would also be about the same distance southeast of Rainelle. I did find Lawn on a map. It is right off Interstate 64 very near the Summers County Line. I could not find a listing for a Franks Cemetery. The Greenbrier Historical Society in Lewisburg have produced books on Greenbrier cemeteries. Perhaps they could provide you with information on the Franks cemetery. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

John, The death cert for Norban shows burial at the Frantz cemetery. The Frantz cemetery is in the Meadow Bluff district of Greenbrier Co. I looked in my book but neither Norban nor Elizabeth are listed in that cemetery. Maybe no headstones so they weren't in the inventory.

Cin - better respond before you think I died from a "genealogy high". Thanks for your help - yes, I have problems reading the different styles of handwriting and then as now people wrote real good until they came to a word or name they are unable to spell and at that time it seems handwriting gets much worse. Anyhow, I took the cemetery name off the Death Cert cover sheet - have since corrected it to FRANTZ. I will put it on my Summertime list to do if I get time - that is much farther than I normally go on the tree but was enjoying it so much just couldn't quit !!!!!! on the DUNCAN line - you must have some in your files - I see where a John Walker Duncan md. Virginia E. Bowles; dau of Alexander Bowles and Louisa Jane Adkins. Anyhow, I met my goal(s); made contact with Carol Benjamin in Maryland who is doing some research on DUNCAN; her line is John Hicks and Love Kaylor - and several messages have been sent to the list so all and all, it's been a good trip.

I grew up about 1 mile from Lawn, WV. Trust me. I-64 nearly obliterated Lawn. Runs right thru the middle of it !!
