Go north on Co Rd425E at the east
edge of the Roachdale Cemetery about 1/4 mile. Just after you |
|
|
go across the old railroad track on
425E turn east into a cultivated field. Follow the south edge |
|
|
of this field (just north of the
old railroad). After about 1/8 mile the field narrows to about 30 feet. |
|
|
This
spot is very wet and can only be crossed when it is dry. After crossing this
narrow spot, |
|
|
go
northeast across the field to the far northeast corner. The tombstone of
Nancy Jeffries is about |
|
|
50 feet north and 50 feet west of
the far northeast corner of the field. |
|
|
The field is not as square and
regular as shown on the map, but it should help you find the grave. |
|
|
There is only one stone here, that
of Nancy Jeffries. The tombstone is in two pieces. The footstone |
|
|
is also nearby. Family history
indicates Nancy outlived all her children and asked to be buried here |
|
|
because she liked the grove of
trees here. Her children are supposed to buried somewhere nearby, |
|
|
but not at this location. I haven't
been able to locate their graves. |
