Hi Malinda,
I understand your situation as I am in California. Go online , YAHOO,
EXCITE or your favorite search site and do a business search for Mortuary in
the town nearest the cemeteries you are looking for. They possible will
have an e-mail address and you can ask them about the Perpetual Care Fund.

I think in my old files I might have some info on Rev. War Cemeteries. If I
find anything I'll send it to you. I have several sites listing cemeteries
and maybe there will be some useful info there as well.

Good luck.
Nancy
