GALBRATH CEMETERY 

From Marco travel on Highway 1 South for about 1 mile, turn right and then
take the left fork, cross the railroad tracks and go about 2 miles. The
Cemetery is on the right hand side of the road

The last time I was at this cemetery was in 1987.  Upon revisiting it this
March 1998, I found that all of the iron crosses are gone except one.
