Thanks for the photos. I've long been interested in Julia Ann Weston. She is somehow related to my Mills family. Julia's mother, Mary Hickman, gave permission for my 3rd great-grandmother, Julia Ann Katz/Kates, to marry James W. Mills. James was another early riverboat man of Smithland. The Mills family is buried in this cemetery.
