Karl,

Rollie was already on "Find A Grave", I added
a photo that is "pending approval" from the
website. Hopefully that will be viewable soon.

I created one for Florence and submitted a
photo, so that should be viewable now. Remember
when looking up Florence use Kalhoun as her
last name, not Rankin.
