Leslye's email of Jan 2002, shared here with her permission, concerning her search for information

Subject: Mt. Moriah Cemetery ----snipped

....... I talked with you sometime ago (summer of '99) and had an interesting visit with you. You shared the information you'd written in the newspaper article about my gg grandfather, Henry Clay Rogers. You also gave my niece and I directions to go to the grave site at Mt.
Moriah, of which we did during my week in Missouri ( wrote you sometime back of the visit). We have pictures of gg grandfather's headstone, and have the area well documented....thanks to you!

Since I last talked with you, I have since lost my grandmother (Nancy E., Dec. 24, 1999) and my beloved mother (Mary Ann., May 27, 2001)...mother was only 66 years young. Our ! five living generations so quickly disappeared. It was very difficult for us for a while, but thank
God for a large & loving family.
The reason for the "ring" today.....you ask that if I ever came across information of other family members that are buried in the cemetery to contact you. I have since become the benefactor of a pretty cool piece of paper. I have...what I believe you would call the wake book...of my gg grandmother, Mary Ann (Molly) Rogers. It's the actual register of my
gg grandmother's wake and the family and friends who attended. In this booklet, it lists her birth as June 18, 1848 in Boone Co, and her death on March 14, 1949 in Columbia. This is Henry Clay's wife. Her interment is listed as MT. Miria CENN on "3.20.1949 at 2 o'clock".
I'd like to also ask, in your 1998 article, you talked of an obit on
Henry Clay Rogers. Would you please send me a copy or send the source where I can look at the obit myself. I'd be very pleased to see it.

The email was addressed to the gentleman who wrote and had an article published in the Columbia Tribune about Mt. Moriah Cemetery near Hallsvile. To avoid satuaration email to him, I have omitted his name and connection pending contact and permission.
