    1. Re: Harkins Cemetery - Wood County
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DFC.2ACI/2493.2.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Pat, Perhaps we are talking about a different cemetery. The Harkins Cemetery I am thinking of is about a mile from Central. The Harkins Cemetery is listed as Briscoe Run Church Cemetery in the old John House files. (There is an Upper and a Lower Briscoe Run Cemetery listed.) Harkins is still in occasional use but has been closed off by a private residence. I used to go there with relatives when I was a child but it is so seldom used a lot of the stones are in disrepair and it is often deserted looking. The old iron gates and fencing are gone and so many of the stones I remember when I was young are no longer even there. I haven't been there for a couple of years but would be glad to go look if you think your relative might be there. Mineral Wells is about 18 miles or so away and I am not familiar with a Harkins Cemetery there. Who were Emma's parents? I have Inghram/Ingram ancestors. Let me know if I can help further. Pat
