What I Found


Here are a couple of photos of what I found:


This is the Dixon stone for my Grandma's parents (Andrew and Ruth Ella Dixon) and Andrew's parents (James and Sarah).



This is the stone for Rachel (Cochran) Williams and her 9 month old son Thomas. She was the youngest sister of Sarah (Cochran) Dixon, making her my Grandma's great aunt. She died at age 29 in 1876. Sarah and Rachel had 2 brothers that fought in the Civil War. Their brother Arnold was killed in the Battle of Chickimagua.
This stone is for William Cochran, 8th Minn Infantry. It's pretty hard to read, even in person. There are no dates on it, so I'm not sure if he's even buried here or not. I don't have a lot of info on this brother.
