[sign in front of church] Generously surveyed, transcribed and submitted by Dave Sanders. Thanks Dave! Please visit Dave's excellent
site.
On the bottom of Hope's stone is the
inscription "Erected by Aunt Jennie". Malissa had a sister,
Virginia, but I don't know if she was "Jennie" or not. Hope
was only 2 1/2 years old when his Mother died and only 6 when his Father
died, so my quest now is to find who raised him. Dave Please
contact Dave if you can help with his quest; thanks!
