Rodney-You replied to my questions re: thecemetery. Have couple other questions. I don't think my grandfather died in mine disaster/explosion,etc. Can you give me idea where in cemetery the miners are buried and where I should look? Can I cover the entire cemetery in one day? Can you drive your car through?

Thanks so much for your help.

The miners are buried on the front side of the cemetery you will notice there are no headstones in this area and if you are on top of the hill at the cemetery you can see sink areas in the cemetery to your left down the hill that is where the miners are buried. Yes you can cover the cemetery in a day. Yes there is a road that takes you to the top of the cemetery and circles back around to the main road. Your so welcome if there is anything else I can do just let me know.

I really appreciate the work you've done here...I have family buried here, although I don't know where as the marker is long gone.

I did want to ask if one of the graves you sealed was the old Buffalow crypt. I'm not sure if you know the story behind that one and how it was desacrated, but I've hoped for years that it would get repaired. Thank you so much for your work there. The cemetery is dependant on volunteers now to keep it in any semblance of shape.
