================+=============

Bea, Sylvia, Rusty and all,
I read the Zeiglers in this cemetery back in May with one known
reading problem, John R. Zeigler and now lo and behold it's
September. I had read his birth as 1899 the same as birth year.
I changed it to 1839, a very good guess and am sending it to the list
for comments.

Bea, my friend, if you are going to the cemetery would you please
check this date for me. Thank you. Thank You. Thank you. Also,
would you, Sylvia, Rusty, and the rest of you good folks (a good
German word) check my dates against your files and let me me know
of any problems.

Best regards, Bob H. ___
