Good Afternoon: I have started working on unloading my e-mail box and trying
to get caught up from my week of play - visiting with grandchildren. This
will take awhile so hang in there with me as I sort and work it all up.

Our thanks to Jay Trace who sent us a lot of new information that I started
working up today. He has several things that he submitted so I will work
them up as I take them out of the e-mail files.

In the Purdy Cemetery files he more added information about Gage, Fly and
Wormington. The Gage and Wormington data were photos and the Fly data was a
correction to what we already had listed.

On the Leann Cemetery pages, Jay added a lot of new information from the
King Funeral Home records. He contacted the lady who transcribed the records
and she gave us permission to use data from her work on the web site. Of the
names that he added to the Leann pages the surnames below were updated with
additional or new information. I noticed a lot of Quaker surnames that are
mixed within this listing.

Mullen,
Thomas,
Gilmer,
Karch,
Hobson,
Allman - Allmon,
McCubbin,
Osbrooks,
Suttles,
Zinn,
Burnett,
Scott,
Monroe,
Lewis,
Lasiter,
Hill,
Boyd

Jay also made a recent discovery that Leann was called Spring Hill Cemetery
in the early days and that there was a school there, too. He found this
information in the newspapers that we have online and so, a few days ago, I
added that to our Leann files, too.

Thanks, Jay, for all you do. It is greatly appreciated. All of this new
information will certainly be most helpful to researchers.
