Anne,

That is ONE cemetery I would be very interested in.

Have you run across any of these of one family:

William Murray
9 Jun 1850 - after 1900 (date of death?)
wife, Nellie E.
1861 - before 1900 (date of death?)
their daughters
Ellen
1878 - ?
Leah
dates? (born at Drewsey)
Christine G.
Jul 1882 - 1944 (exact date of death?)
(Christine was married to William John Altnow)
William Altnow
24 Jul 1870 - 1940 (exact date of death?)
their 2 known children, may be more
Albert H. Altnow
Oct 1873 - (after 1920)
wife Laurette B.
1891 - ?
two known children
Mildred (8 in 1920), Joseph (7 in 1920)

Ina Altnow
1882 - ?

And I am more interested in photos of gravemarkers. The Murrays had a 
very huge cattle ranch out of Drewsey.
