on a recent visit to Crider Chapel cemetery
we noticed a new plaque added to John P. York's old (barely legible) stone
It is a nice plaque --and I would like to make contact with the person responsible for
placing it there --- 1. to say thank you
and 2. to compare info with them
this new plaque reads
Eve Haney 1838 -1901
wife of Clark Massey
wife of John York 1808-1880
Also, I must comment on the condition of this cemetery --- but a big thank you is due to
whoever the persons were who cleaned up this cemetery ---It was remarkable how much
improved its condition was from the last time we were there (some 20 years ago) --yes,
some of the stones are barely legible and some you can't read at all --but we did find
several of our ancestors there --and took lots of photos of stones to add to our genealogy
file.

Does anyone have connections to John W. York? In 1887 he was made guardian
of orphan Pearl Bennett in Miami County and I'm trying to find a connection.
