It was getting cold and dark and I had only gone half way around the
cemetery so a return visit is due as soon as I can get the time to make the
trip back over the border again. I will send the results of that trip ASAP
after I return. Malcolm.
P.S. You may find some of the spellings such as Agnas and Junkeeper as e.g.
a little strange but that is how they are on the stones. MC.
