Hi Toni:
R and Janet Gilchrist are probably Ronald and Janet. When you look from
the gate in the cemetery they are to the far left and way to the back of
the cemetery. One that I would like to find is Elizabeth (Calder)
Gilchrist. She was Ronald's mother and I think she might be buried
there. I know she was in Canada.
