I found this on another board. I have contacted Benjamin and his wife Jo Anne, and asked
to post it here also. Their e-mail address is
BNJOMILLER(at)aol.com. It is a worth while
project and they need our help. Tyre is my husbands ggg Grandfather. Thanks, Lori Chaffin
From Benjamin F. Miller
If you are a descendant of Tyre & Frances McAllister Chaffin who are buried at Old
Sharon Cemetery in Henry County, GA, I need your help. I am trying to replace the broken
tombstones for Tyre, Frances and son Jesse Washington Chaffin. The stones are the old tall
thin kind and have broken in several places, been put back together and broken again. I
would like to replace them with new sloped 4" thick (1 by 2ft.) granite monuments as
I feel they certainly deserve to be marked with proper monuments.
I know there are many descendants and if we work together we can accomplish this. No
donation will be too small and you will have had a part in honoring your ancestors. Thank
you for your support.
