Saint Listers:

I posted photos of the grave markers of Saints in Benson Cemetery,
Grundy Co., IA at the Iowa Genweb Special Project page Gravestone Photo
Project, http://www.iagenweb.org/grave/.

Two borthers, Joseph and Thomas Saint Jr., moved to Grundy Co., IA in
the 1850's. Later some of thier children moved into Hardin Co., IA.
They were the sons of Thomas Saint Sr., b. 1790, Perquimans Co., NC, d.
3 Jan 1868, Henry Co., IA and Margaret Trueblood, b. 24 Mar 1898, NC, d.
3 May 1837, Wayne Co., IN

I took some of the photos in Mar., 1999 when the grass was brown. In
May, 2000 when I met Ron Saint and his sister and mother in a mini-Saint
reunion in Eldora. We both had been to Benson cemetery at least once,
but ended up winding around Felix Twp. for a few minutes untill we found it.

Below are the descriptions I put with the photos.
