Perhaps this cemetery list might help alittle. Bill Squires
The Poff family cemetery is our family Cemetery. My grandmother who
died in Oct 2000 at age 99 3/4 was the person who approved people being
buried there and looked after the cemetery. Her mother was born a Poff. I
have included in my email the Poff family cemetery listing.
WE PUT THE CEMETERY ON LINE IN 2000. Alot of people have contacted
me
about it/the people buried there.
