Pictures were taken by Gregory T. Fitzmaurice, great-great grandson of David and Erie Alice Petheram Reed on 4th of July 2002.
 
David's parents; Ann B. Culver and Samuel C. Reed would be Greg's ggg-grandparents on his maternal side. Erie's parents, Melissa Ryerse and Samuel Petheram would also be Greg's ggg-grandparents on his maternal side.

Greg and his wife Kim went to Saugatuck to see the area and Kim volunteered to go find the grave sites on my grandmother's side of the family. They walked all through the cemetery looking for our ancestor's stones and could not find them. As they were leaving in the car Kim spotted a Reed name so they stopped to check. And sure enough, the graves were found. Yeah Kim! I do thank them so much for taking the time out of a mini vacation to find where our family graves were in the beautiful area of Saugatuck, Michigan.
