Please help me!!! here's my story I just stared my family history, My second week me and my grandmother found a very very old "lost" picture book It belonged to gertrude "birdie" cameron of front royal.It included pictures from 1913 - 1960's, It had two newes paper clippings one clearly posted proclaiming my great grandmother as a "riverton war bride" to be wed. the other was hidden under taped pictures. Strange... It says
Purcell infant dies in clarke
little dorothy ann purcell, 7 months old today, died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.Emmett Purcell on the Bowles farm in the millwood section of clarke today. She was born on april 22. (1940 penciled in)
She is survived by her parents both natives of richmond,and 7 brothers and sisters, Lillian c., Emmett L., Hunter E., Harvey w., Darrell r., Raymond L., and Kathleen. (my grandmother)
Services for the child will be held in greenhill cemetery at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow morning. Mr purcell is employed by the highway department and is working on the new u.s. route 50 strip near boyce.
The crazy thing in no one ever mention her. my grandmother didn't know who she was. she would have been almost two when she died. So Ive decided to make sure she is remembered right along with the rest of her 8 brothers and sister ,only my grandmother kathleen and my great aunt lillian are still alive.
Anyway what I need to know is Where exactly is greenhill cemetery located at, directions please. or someone who is incharge of the cemetery. Also I am looking for my family up there My ancestor Was helen elizabth fogel (purcell)
I have many pictures in this mystery book that we dont know who they are all we do know is my grandmother says "oh they must be front royal/ winchester area people"
Thank you
hope to be up there this summer
