Speaking of Civil War ancestors, today when I went to Cooke Burial Ground,
the grave and stone of John Mull, b. Jan 15 1843, d. Apr 7 1919, Co. F, 32nd
Regiment, noted that he was in the United States Colored Troops in the Civil War
(this was noted by Gina, who so wonderfully documented the stones at the
cemetery on Sat. I did get pretty good pictures today, using a method a friend of
mine told me...sounded a little bit silly,......but it worked good. I put
flour into a white sock, tied the top, then dusted the stone with it...well what
I did mainly was kind of rubbed the stone across the lettering with the sock.
The only stones I didn't get were Abigail Agnes Bennet and Benjamin Eterrel,
and Katie Lewis....(if you remember the post that Gina gave us on the names).
Since I was coming from Wheeling, we found out that if we stayed on
interstate 70 and got off at 19 it was much easier. We went home that way.....going,
we went down 79 and definitely got turned around a little, but we managed to
find it. Thank you all for your help, and I did find my ancestors, the
Swearingens and Cooke's there. If any would like pictures, I have them on my puter,
and would be glad to email them.......... A couple of you that emailed me on
different family names, I will get to your emails tomorrow!!!!!!!! Been a busy
weekend and a busy day today!
