Cousin Ross and I (Wes) finally got out to Chaffin Cemetery today and put up the Memorial Marker for our (2nd great) uncle William S. Scott. As suggested I put it between Holley's and Mary's graves. My only regret was that it was slightly damaged in transit by a tow motor. 
I am glad that I was able to install this memorial. As white as this stone is it now makes the cemetery easier to see. The Brawders (surrounding land owners & gardeners) have said they are going to sow grass seed soon in the cemetery.
