Abstract: Died at his home on 19th James Downing at age of 57.TOMBSTONE: Information sent to T.Mason on 2/27/2009 by Robert Burton. "My interest in this branch is a result of finding their family cemetery located in the middle of a condominium complex where my cousin lives. We are beginning a restoration project this spring on the cemetery.
I am also attaching a couple of photos of headstones in the cemetery, confirming birth and death dates for members of that family. Several of the stones are broken off the bases and are probably buried under several layers of soil and debris."
