Dear James,

The cemeteries book give a variety of combinations of the mentioned information you desire. Since the index you used was done, I have completed a more thorough index that combined many of the names into single individuals, so your list of requested individuals  my result in fewer individuals. Much of the provided information was gotten by having someone read the headstones. On very old stones the information was not always clear and the ready may have made mistakes. But in spite of all this, this record is the best Brown county has.
