Research of the burials in the Dragoo Cemetery

is continuing, for my book to be published before the

August 2008 Dragoo Family Reunion.

The book will include family histories, relationships

to the DRAGOO, STRAIGHT and ICE families and

available photos of grave markers.

The book may also be made available on CD

in Word or pdf format.

Please let me know if you would be interested in

the CD version.
