Thanks Tim for your continuing assistance! I think that my gr-gr-gr-
grandfather, WILLIAM HARKLESS who died 1855 is also buried in Alpha Cemetery.
His grandchildren (children of George & Rosanna Hunter) are buried there;
they died in the same timeframe that William Harkless did. But NO MARKER! I
was there a couple of months ago & we searched through several cemeteries in
the area, but no luck. We had a great time though & I am going back to look
further. We now know of an "Unknown" Harkless gravestone (going back to look
for in the Spring), got to take pictures of a wonderful family bible & many
delightful old photos & met several Harkless cousins. What fun!
Thanks again, Eilene Harkless Moore

Hello Everyone,
I have uploaded a copy of the WPA Death Index (1882-1920) to the web site.

Cemetery) but there is no record of his death, nor is there an obituary, as
