All,

I read with sadness in today's Hunterdon County Democrat of the
passing of Joyce Leaver Carraway. She was a fellow list member here.
I frequently corresponded with her regarding genealogy and local
history via email. Joyce is related to the well-known Dr. Morris
Hampton Leaver, M. D., D. D. S of Quakertown in Franklin Township.
Joyce was kind enough to help me with my Hunterdon County website by
providing me with the listing of plot owners / interments of the
Locust Grove Cemetery and Quaker Burial Ground. She will be greatly
missed.

The following is her obituary:


Fanwood NJ -
