Notes
Will
A copy is in my computer files.Burial
Anderson and Elizabeth are in graves 1 and 2 of lot 39. To find them, bear left as you go into the cemetery. The cemetery is one big loop, so go left to start around the loop. Make a right turn and go all the way to the back of the cemetery at the top of the hill where the road turns to the right again. This is where the road turns to go across the back of the cemetery. Their graves are right on the inside of that turn, next to the road just before you turn.Approx. GPS coordinates:
37.483842 -86.276928.
