UPDATE: As of May, 2016, my (PALR) great
grandparents have new markers. I am proud
to say I had them made and so happy

never had one and in honor of them and my
Daddy, Ray Long, they do now. It has their
names, dates and are very nice.

NOTE: The surname of Ketron has several
different spellings. The name was Kettenring,
Cattron, Catron & Ketron.
