Please contact me if you are a descendent of this family. They are my GGG grandparents. My Great Aunt from Oklahoma removed five family headstones to another cemetery 20 years ago because the old cemetery was not being maintained at that time. The folks in Carthage are restoring the Old Brick Cemetery where the graves are still located. I am trying to help raise funds to assist with the cost of moving the headstones from Moss Ridge Cemetery back to the grave sites. The cemetery assoc. is also requesting written permission from Joseph and Mary's descendents to move them back. If you can't contribute $ please send a letter of consent to this address.

I have family pictures of their son Joseph and his wife Sophia Margaret Myers and I am willing to share with descendents of this line.
Thank you,
