EarlBlevins.jpg886 viewsThis very nice gentleman stopped what he was doing to show us where the Kell cemetery was. Earl was blowing leaves off the parking lot of a community center across from the church. He (I think-I didn't write a thing down) is a descendant of Squire & Sarah Ann. He led us to the cemetery, went home & came back to make sure we got back down the hill alright. He gave me his phone # and called his cousin Daniel Smith Blevins in Marion about Rhoda. Anyway he was very helpful, friendly & nice. [email]Courtesy of Nanalee Wrenn[/email]
