Subject: [INJENNIN] Re: SCIPIO CEMETERY
At the time I was trying to write you my oldest daughter came in - she
comes over at 10 and at 4 to change the dressing on my toe - it just does
not want to heal the way it should so I have been referred to Wound Care
Center this coming Monday. I want to ask if it would be possible to get a
copy of that map you mentioned showing the numbered areas - I will pay any
copy costs etc that you might have for this. Thank you so much.

Sheila, thank heaven for small favors <smile>. I have a
picture of James
Waughtell (2 l's in this case) plot - I believe their daughter Jennettie
(sp) Couchman is buried there also but will dig out the picture - been ages
and ages since I've looked at it. I've been there a couple times but a good
20 years ago it seems like. To the best of my knowledge the only other
John Waughtel was a John C. Waughtel and I do have him accounted for. I've
been having "issues" with the small toe on my left foot and cannot be on my
feet long at any time and must have it elevated. Never In my life have I
ever heard of anyone getting a "staph" infection AND a "strep"
infection on
a toe BUT it is painful. But I will drag out the notebooks and check this
out. Thanks a lot.
