| Comments:
|
Dates or text in Red are not inscribed on the tombstone and have either been calculated based on death date or are as a result of research on the individual. Our sincere thanks to Paula Copen for providing the initial information and photos of this cemetery for posting here! Notes from Paula: "Mt. Tell is rough road, best time to travel is between late spring to mid fall. After you travel the 7/10 mile up Romance Road (Mt. Tell), you can park car and walk ridge to cemetery or use 4 wheel drive. Road is impossible to drive if muddy and need to park regardless and walk." If you're unable to find the cemetery, you're welcome to email Paula at duff_famtree (at) yahoo.com (email current as of Nov. 2009). She says she's happy to meet you at the Goldtown exit or one of the road turns after that and you can follow her from there. |
