I Saw The Marker
Went to see the cemetery. Found names of some of my ancestors on the Church's website. When I noticed that this page didn't have photos I decided to help and post some. Church and Cemetery is very well kept and the marker is in good condition. I have been looking for these grave sites for quite some time and was excited when I found them. Thank you Dancyville United Methodist Church for archiving the graves and posting them online. I would have never found them without your work.
