LAPPIN CEMETERY

Lappin Cemetery is ringed by an old wire fence and is mowed by the neighbors. While trying to find Lappin, I met Paul Ray White tending his cornfield. Mr. White didn't know where Lappin was, but called his mother, who did, and who guided me to the cemetery. Here's the surprise: Mr. White was in his 60's and had lived in the area all his life. His mother Frances White, was a spry 88 years old! This just illustrates how quickly memory of these cemeteries fades. Picture and information donated by Mariann Musgrave Brownson 2008
