Sutherland Family Cemetery

I'm back! It's been awhile since I last posted any articles on my families genealogy. But research is very time consuming as I'm sure you know! I have been searching for any information leading to the Sutherland family, photos, stories and the like. Recently, I sent out an email requesting photos of the Sutherland family cemetery on findagrave.com. A special thank you to Peggy Cornett, who also granted her permission to display the photos of the cemetery which can be seen in this article. I am still researching the Sutherland's line and hope to one day solve the mystery of Alexander Sutherland- who seems to be eluding me at every turn! This poor forgotten cemetery needs a lot of work to make it beautiful again, maybe one day I can visit it for myself and clean up my families headstones! From the knowledge I have gathered so far, there isn't a marked grave for Alexander A Sutherland, so there is no way to tell exactly where he was buried.
