  The cemetery listing below is from a cemetery located off Hwy 6.   If you are going

west out of Many toward Pendleton Bridge, you turn right on the road in front of the

Rose-Neath Funeral Home.  As soon as you turn right, there will be a road to the right.

Behind the home of Harvey and Louise Hippler the cemetery is fenced off behind an old barn.

Mrs. Hippler said she thought it was called the Recknor Cemetery.

-----------------------------------------





  I talked to Verna Mae Randolph this morning, Feb 19, 2001 and she said S. B. Quay was

Simon Quay and his wife who was her aunt, was buried there also,  Ann Randolph Guay,

but she doesn't have a stone.



  She also said her great grandfather John Green Randolph was buried there next to his

wife Mary A Randolph. (John has no head stone.)



  She said her father had told her that his father had several half brother's and sisters

buried there so she guessed her grandfather had been married more than once.



  I'm going to call Billie Quay and ask him if he has any more data.  He took care of the

cemetery for many years according to Mrs. Hippler.
