Hello,
I talked to my cousin in Clay, WV. He says there were some Ghee's buried in the Sanders cemetery on Sycamore Rd. in Indore but some of the stones were destroyed in the late 60's so no way of knowing if Sarah was one of them. My grandmothers' stone was one of the one's destroyed. :(

Gary,

Slate is dark shale lying next to the coal beds. It contains impressions of the plant life of distant ages, proving the vegetable origin of coal

This is all the information that I have on this accident. A newspaper article or death certificate may have more information.

Hi Lelia, Gary ghee calling. Any more info on little James Fredic Gee? Did you ever find a death certificate for Sarah Ghee? Do you know if Ollie Jean Ghee had any children and are any still alive? I think Aunt Ollie would have info and maybe pictures from Sarah and Thomas. Sorry about all the questions, I get lost quickly. Thanks for your help. Gary Ghee

Hi There, My father was Thomas Ray Gee his family last name is spelled Ghee, but dad didn't like the way it was spelled so he dropped the h sometime in the late 40's. I was told that I have two half brothers some where back east. I have tried to find them with no luck. Was your brother in law born sometime in the late 40's or before 1957.
Sincerely, Sarah
