Hello,
I am trying to tie together the families buried in the Orio Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Friendsville Precinct, Wabash Co.
If anyone would like to contribute or needs help, I'd be delighted to share whatever I have. I'm also looking for recent bueials that would not appear on the 1970 list that Geraldine Satterthwaite did.
My ancestors buried there are Shepard and Andrews, but of course the intermarriages add tons of other names!
Thank you!
Laura Armetta
