<DIV>Eileen, </DIV>

<DIV>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 The deed was originally made out to my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.</DIV>
