Your response was much appreciated and I want to thank you for going to the
trouble of looking that up for me. Someone else said they would see what
they could see, too, and I am awaiting their return to me. Your advice is
very good about checking with the hist. so. and I am delighted to learn that
there is such a book of cemetery records.

You have been most helpful. I have a little hope, again.
