I have that information also. It could be the same James GARRISON as
mine. There's no way to prove it for sure.

I've been to that cemetery! It's very hard to find. I needed a 7 minute
map from USGS in order to locate the cemetery. It's a very small, family,
unmaintained cemetery a little ways off the road surrounded by private
property marked with "no trespassing" signs.
Can you tell me Jackie Lubinski's email address?
