<DIV><EM>Hi Jim,</EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM>That would be the Elwood Cemetery. That sounds like about the
time frame that my mother taught school there. Her name was Lillie
Moffitt. I used to go to school there with her sometimes. I was born
in December 1942. I do have some pictures but am not sure if there is a
group picture. Do you remember the Peterson girls or the
Stahlneckers?</EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM></EM> </DIV>
<DIV><EM>The Elwood Community has a reunion every year but I only found out
about it fairly recently and we were unable to attend this year. I think
it was in August. There is still a functioning church in the same building
that has been there for years.</EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM></EM> </DIV>
<DIV><EM>Colton had an all-school reunion in July that we did attend.</EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM></EM> </DIV>
<DIV><EM>Bonney Cemetery is closer to Colton. It is up on a hill and if I
remember right you go up Bauer Road to get there. I have been to several
graveside services there but it has been awhile.</EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM></EM> </DIV>
<DIV><EM>Regards,</EM></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I attended the first four grades of school at the
Elwood School between Colton & Estacada starting in 1945.
There was a cemetery and a church across the road from this one room
school. Would this be the same cemetery?</FONT></DIV>
