Thanks! No one had replied until you did and I really appreciate it. Last year I visited Knoxville (for the first time or at least as I remember that is) and went by the local Walmart and got one arrangement and then off to Graceland. I had no idea how many stones or the arrangement of the stones. There is a large stone for John and Mary White and then four smaller stones to the left (if I remember correctly) for Minnie, Agnes, Nora and Thomas. A short distance from these stones is a stone for John White (son of John and Mary) his wife Vennie and daughter Doris. And a small marker for their son J Raymond. The White plots are located across the road from the small lake and up the small hill just a bit. If I remember correctly, there is a right turn at or just past the lake and the White stones are right along the drive--they jumped right out at me. Hope that helps. You can contact me directly by email and work everything out. Another daughter, Barbara White Jenkins and her husband is also buried in Graceland, but I did not find their stone on my visit. My mom is 83 and remembers going to John White's (the son) funeral in the 30's and Nora and J Raymond came to her mothers in the late 50s. My grandmother and her sister corresponded with their cousins in Knoxville frequently. Again, thanks. Ernie
