Kightlinger Cemetery

You may click on any of the thumbnails and each photo will open in it's own window for a bigger view.

Kate, my daughter, Racheal, my dog, and her daughter, Ophelia Phenwick visited the Kightlinger Cemetery

on March 11, 2006 and I took photos as Kate checked the cemetery listings. Our Dogs roamed around

and barked the whole time.  You can also see where there were tombstones but none there today.  If you would

like to contribute any information on the people buried here or have newer photos of the tombstones feel free to

Feed my doggie emails he'll love you....
