Wonder how many other people are buried there, and if any other unmarked / weathered stones might be found, buried under a half-inch of soil? If there are other people buried there, wonder who were the latest, most-recent burials? Are William b.Abt.1781 and Isabel (Hopkins) McAninch also buried there? [William died 1864, obit, Jefferson Co. Republican; (Harold believes) Isabel died 1864, Beaver Twp.]. |
