There will be an entire (18000+) grave site listed on findagrave.com in a few months already listed amost 8,000. If this web site would like a copy of this Cem. I can provide it. Along with pictures of the grave sites.
Donna, thank you for your generosity, and we would be delighted to accept. Will email with details. Thank you!
Donna, Thanks for providing this information, I retired 2 year ago and am taking care of my husband. I restarted my quest for Family History again in Dec. and the information being provided by our locals is wonderful. We have a lot of relatives in Oak Hill and other cemeteries in the area, so want you to know how much it is appreciated. If I was not needed so badly as a caregiver, would gladly help you.
Harry L Sobel is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery but I am unable to find Richard Morris Sobel, who is a relation, maybe brother.
Would appreciate any information on the gravesite of Richard Morris Sobel AKA R Morris Sobel AKA Morris Sobel.
Thank you,
Kathy Dupree
