CEMETERY Stones
Copied by Dorothy Lewis 3-26-1986

Note:  Those buried here are the original (and descendants) who 
       immigrated here from Wales via the coal mines of Ohio.  
       They built their houses out of native prairie grass for 
       the first couple of years and spoke only "heaven's
       tongue" or Welsh.
