Deb,
I am a desc. of Andrew Ralston through his dau Jane who married
William Jones. I have a photo of Andrew Ralston's marker in Beech Springs
Cm, Hopedale, OH. I will be happy to scan a copy to you. The marker is a
huge boulder "transported July 4,1934 from Waltemyer Community in old York
Co.,PA where the eleven children of the family were born" , It has a
plaque containing his military history and listing children buried there also.
I was there last year and the roads were closed to the cemetery
due to a mining operation surrounding the cemetery. We had to walk about
1/4 mile from the main road. The cemetery is very well maintained.
