Until yesterday! My friend Betty and I were talking about going out to visit her grave and taking some flowers, since Betty goes to visit her husband's grave there on Memorial Day and realized that there were no flowers or recognition for either Ma or her sons. I got goose bumps when I read your comment!<br />Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03664721949113509873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729166837877316238.post-49046118912444429832013-05-29T14:58:16.894-05:002013-05-29T14:58:16.894-05:00My grandma's family is from the Welch area and...My grandma's family is from the Welch area and when my mom and aunt were growing up, my aunt used to leave flowers on the Barker's graves. My family was the only one that knew it was her. The newspaper always made a comment wondering who it was. They were buried there because Mr. Barker was from Welch. They were buried in the middle of the night.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729166837877316238.post-80893563764836059702011-04-23T18:21:15.088-05:002011-04-23T18:21:15.088-05:00Laurel...

From Route 66 (also 69 in that area) turn east on Rt. 10/59 about 2.5 miles south of Miami. The cemetery is about 6 miles down, on right. No country roads involved, just regular paved well-traveled roads. I will see if any of my friends with GPS will send the coordinates to me.Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03664721949113509873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729166837877316238.post-77310781083965047722011-04-22T16:14:09.967-05:002011-04-22T16:14:09.967-05:00Great post....

Don't you have someone you can send out to get the GPS coordinates of the grave?? <br />With the price of gas we can't be wandering around looking for country roads...<br />Just thinking....(with the one brain cell that I have left)....<br /><br />Grumpgrumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12836458167026491029noreply@blogger.com
