Hi Evalyn,

So glad that you have added your "voice" to the chorus! :-) I have this
habit of passing along messages when I see common ancestors, just can't
help myself!

I don't seem to have a copy of the look-up you mentioned. I will go
through the cemetery book (slowly) and send the entries I find for you. I
am off to Dillard, GA tomorrow to pick up hubby and his buddy and their
bikes. We are spending the night in north GA and coming back on
Wednesday. Taking in the Dillard House, a well known restaurant which
sits on top of a mountain there and over-looks a lovely scene, from what I
have been told.

Look for the MELTON cemetery look-ups to be posted directly to the list,
when I get started, ok. Actually, these are not lists of cemetery
information. If I sent anything, it was copied from the cemetery
book. And, I can send the other information along as well, if you can bear
with me, as to the quickness of it. Next week is preparation for the
arrival of my Australian daughter-in-law whom we have never met. She comes
for a week's visit from Japan.

Yes, I have loved how the folks of Izard County have come alive to us. I
think it's not only about connecting ancestors, but about getting
acquainted with our new cousins as well!

Jean C.
