Researcher's notes

Note: The Coffin Plates on this page were hard to read. They were found all together so we know that they are all in the same family. Remember Coffin Plates or Casket Plaques were not always interred with the casket in the grave at the time of burial. They were often taken home as a rememberance by a loved one.
