Finding Graves Shirley Reed was with us and she has the gift to find graves when standing near or on them, and she can tell if they are man or woman in most cases or if there is more than one in area. She located what she believes to be the unmarked Graves of a man and woman. I took a reading on my GPS- 31.26.288N by 98.29.520W of that location. These graves may belong to Mr. and Mrs G. W. West, both are supposed to buried in this cemetery and there are no headstones found for them.
