I believe the son--Billy --still lives in Elizabethtown, Ky. He is about 57
and was a barber there the last I heard of him. You might see if you can
find him in the phone book.

>> Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
>>
>> One last thing and then I'm going to get working. This past week we had

>> site, to which I graciously and repeated replied... "Yes, yes, yes!".
>> It's a cemetery that possibly by now has been lost and long forgotten.
>> In

>> knows of other burials there, but few markers were in place upon her last
>> visit. So, the Johnson Cemetery listing for the marker of John P.
>> Cummings as well as related information is up and ready for viewing.
