In Response To: family graves (Jane McClure)

I am sending their obituaries, both of which indicate they are buried in the Alexander Cemetery. Perhaps their stones have not yet been photographed or there are no stones on their graves. You can request a volunteer to try and locate and photograph the tombstones.
