Thank you so much! I have wondered for years where they were buried. Yesterday I decided to look for large Cemeteries in Franklin. I looked at the photo requests and saw you had responded to some requests with good information. Then I read your Bio and decided to write you. You have made my Day. Carole

Lewis M. and Elizabeth Birdwhistell
Hi Ellen,

I am hoping you might be able to help me. I am looking for the Cemetery location of my gr uncle Lewis McMurty Birdwhistell who died Dec 11, 1987 and his wife Elizabeth Peffer Birdwhistell who died Apr 9, 1983. Both died in Franklin, Simpson County. They moved out of the Mercer/Anderson area of Kentucky and folks don't remember where they are buried.

Thank you so much, Carole Lee Alexander #47288670
