Please feel free to use these photographs for your families genealogy. If you prefer NOT to have your families headstones on this site please email me at ernylong@windstream.net or use the Guestbook to leave a note.. This site is updated weekly, I will start yearly updates in April. As many, early buriels were unmarked or marked with wooden markers that weathered away. I would apprecite any information on family burials in Lea County.
