[Eugene Melvin]

Eileen, 

I am currently not in the state.  But when I get home I can email you the correct plot number but I believe it is either 6 or 26.  I have a copy of the deed to this plot at home.  The deed was originally made out to my Great Grand Father Edgar Nichols Melvin.  The plot is located in the second most easterly row of plots.  Everyone there is a Melvin.  One of the daughters is listed by her married named, Russell.  Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

  I'm uncertain I can pull them by plot unless you have a number.  Are they all going to be named Melvin?  Or are there other family names?

    An excel file would be find.  I would be interested in what information you have on the Melvin Family Plot.

    Thanks,

      Hi,

      Because I organized the group that computerized the database of all the
      burials for Metro, I have on my computer the early burials in Powell Grove
      Cem.

      I have them on Filemaker Pro, but can export the specific burials to a
      comma-delimited file that you can open in Excel or some other database if
      you like.

      Is there a specific family or group you're looking for in the cemetery, or
      just the early ones?

      > The current administrators are very helpful.  They gave me everything they
      had from 1949 forward.  In my case about 70 pages.  But they had no records
      prior to 1949.  I believe this cemetery began in the late 1880's.

      when I can.
