Both John and Mary died in flu epidemic, leaving three small children - Bart, Burley, and Bessie born 1912, 1913, and 1916 respectively. We are grandchildren of Bart.
We would love any information that could be provided about the family as our grandfather was only 6-7 years old when his parents died, and we would like to know more to honor our grandfather's memory. We know they are buried in the Harmony Cemetery in Perry County, AR. Their graves are marked by "a pile of stones" and would like to locate the exact location in the cemetery so actual markers can be placed to honor them properly. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated with the gravesite of these two people - and any of the other grandparents, etc.
