I am Lila Durbin. My husband's family are buried at this cemetery, in fact...his dad's stone can be seen on your picture behind the stone in the front. I am needing family history help for the Durbin's from St. Elmo. Do you have info from these Durbin's?
I would also like to know who Joseph Durbin'S parents were. His wife was Happie Curren Morris. These two were my husbands great grandparents.
Thanks so much for any help you can give.
