Jeanne,
Will you do a list? The Jackson Co. genealogical society would probably
love that. It's not listed on their Genweb site. The Jaynes name sounds
familiar. Were there TWO cemeteries? I only know of the one across the road
from Conologue school.

Thanks so much, Mike! My relative, William Jaynes is supposed to be
buried
there (d.1931). Did you know that family? I'll check it out in a few
weeks
and let everyone know how it goes.
