Jeff,
Have record of three Ziegler family members buried in Claysville Cemetery.
No Gibsons but will have G records in a couple of months. Remind me again
if I do not get back to you.

Section D. Lot 57
Grave # 1 Abram Ziegler 1828-1906
Grave # 2 Elizabeth Ziegler 1828-1894
Grave # 3 Agnes Ziegler l857-1902

Will be back there late next week and try to find out more. And take photo
of stone if there is one.
