Note from Carolyn McPherson
Photo of the Blakely Cemetery is as it appeared on Memorial Day 2007, a beautiful place. I must say I was quite awestruck to stand at the grave of my great-great-great-grandfather! There *is* a sign for the cemetery: it is a little handpainted white sign you can barely make out above the gate. --Carolyn, October 29, 2008
