·Ora Edgar Pelfrey

Note to reader: Many of these individuals were born in Lawrence

County, Kentucky. The Skaggs families listed above moved to Ohio

sometime around 1915. A severe influenza epidemic swept through

this area and was the cause of death for many of the people listed

above. There may be others buried in this cemetery, but as the

deaths were coming just days apart, burials seemed to have been

completed as best as they could manage.
