Hello Phillip,
Thank you for the generous offer, but that is not necessary, as I
have located them on Find A Grave at Plum Run.
I was hoping to make contact with a descendant to clarify Alfred's
father's name.
We visited SE Indiana this late summer and found it most interesting
and inviting. I liked the small communities and the Libraries were
great too.
Thanks again,
Bonnie

I pass Plum Run cemetery a twice a day on my way to and from work. I
can stop in there and see what I can find if that would help you. If I
can find the stone, I can snap a picture. Contact me if you're
interested.
