Travel Tuesday ~ In Search of the Gillis Cemetery

Frank "Merle" Finister
The Gillis Cemetery is located on a knoll overlooking Lake Lovelace (now known as Lake Louie) in Sicily Island.

An incomplete list of those buried in the Gillis Cemetery include the following:
Roy Lee Enright, 1894-1918
Marion Jennie Lovelace Stone, 1814-1872
Frances A. Lovelace, died 1851; age 16
Samuel Lightner, died 1828; age 19
Samuel Gordon, died 1829; age 30
George Peniston, 1837-1842
I have wanted to locate and photograph this cemetery for quite some time.  While back home for a few days last week, my sister, one of my brothers and my daughter joined me in my search for the Gillis Cemetery.
