Hi Donna,
I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question about the cemetery, but I found
that we have some common ancestors, in a roundabout way. My mother had a half-sister
Georgie (different mothers, hers died); Georgie's mother was Edith K. Leonard, whose
parents were Emma Grace Clevenger and Ulysses Grant Leonard. Ulysses' parents were
Smith Leonard and Lydia Jane Parks. Lydia's parents were the James Parks and Eliza
Jane Clevenger you were asking about.
I have a photo of Smith Leonard with his young daughter Irena if you're interested.
Also a picture of Smith's wife Lydia with their two grown sons Ulysses and Orlando.
I would love to have come across you earlier, as my aunt Georgie didn't know anything
about her family, since her mother died when she was 5 and the family wouldn't tell
her anything. I did a bit of digging for her so she could at least know about her
grandparents.
Where do you fit in?
Jennifer Rice
