Hi All!

I was able to go to Fayette City Cemetary this past Saturday. Thanks to all
who offered directions, I found it quite easily. I'm glad I went on Saturday
it was a beautiful day, Sunday was not a very nice day.

I didn't find the particular stone I was looking for, but found some other
interesting things. Does anyone have an address for a caretaker that I might
contact about records there?

I noted some stones that were of interest to me or had names I have seen on
the list. This is by no means a complete survey! I hope this helps someone.
