How exciting! Minerva J. Wakefield, who married JHC Scales (b.1830) was my
ggrandfather's sister.

I only have discovered this connection in the last few years...was unaware
that there were Wakefield kin still in the area while I was growing up in
Shelbyville.

I would welcome any and all information you can send. I would also like to
know where the cemeteray is located. Thanks.
