None of us knew our great-grandfather's name for sure, and certainly not his dates of birth and death. It was essential to know those basic items if I was going to study his history. At one family reunion, my cousin Roy asked me, "Do you want to go see the cemetery where our great-grandfather is buried?" I said, "YES!!!!" And we drove to the site. There it was, the basic data I was seeking, and the whereabouts of great-grandfather [and other family members] at the IOOF Cemetery in Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas. -->
