MT. CARMEL REVISITED

Our hardiest members showed up to begin a probe of Mt. Carmel Cemetery to locate other stones that may lie beneath the surface. The weather was extremely cold and strong winds prevailed. Three rock markers were found about four feet apart in perfect line with the graves in the row. All were near the area where Sarah Kellison's multi-piece stone was found under the soil last fall.

A burial spot thought to be that of Henry Kelso who died in St. Louis in 1939 was also found. It was between the graves of Martha Kelso and her son Stephen Kelso.
