Joanne....hang in there gal !!! Anyone who has REALLY met you and felt your efforts first hand knows that Darlene's comments are truly unfortunate. Don't let this discourage you as a most dedicated and knowledgeable volunteer. Your eforts are very much appreciated by us all. Darlene somehow got it all wrong , somehow equating lack of success in her Jones Co seach to lack of effort by others on her behalf and unfortunately choosing this forum to vent.

Three of us at Jones Co. Gen Soc. spent several hours trying to locate the
graves of Milo and Eurena Starkweather for Darlene. Not only did we check for
probates, land records (time consuming), gravestones, and other correspondence
from Starkweather researchers.

We have checked for these individuals in the past with no luck. These
Starkweathers appeared in one Jones Co. census. There is no trace of them that we
can find.

We have walked all known cemeteries in Jones Co. and the data is indexed.

I tried to e-mail Darlene. She says she did not receive the e-mail.

Darlene then called me at home. I did not mean to be impolite, if Darlene
felt I was. I tried to convey to Darlene that there was no more that we could
do.
