"Now, the bad news. As I walked down the street I looked all around to see if I could find any trace of a family cemetery near [south of] 8441 [Arthur drive} as is shown in the [Somerton Historic District papers] map but I couldn't see a trace of it. I didn't want to wonder on the property without permission but I did look carefully from the street without any luck."
