The 8/30/99 Lafayette Courier and Journal's Letters to the Editor features a
letter from Meriam Bellah of Lafayette, whose son-in-law and daughter own
the property at the old Helms cemetery featured in Jeff Parrott's recent
articles. Ms. Bellah reports that they cleaned it as best they could and
righted some of the stones and further that the county moved the adjacent
road, which now covers some of the graves.
Ms. Bellah's full letter is available at:
