Question:

I'm trying to find out where several of my relatives are buried in and around Avon, Connecticut!. One post I found online suggests that some of them (old surname is PROWE -- died between 1890's and 1940's) are located in what they referred to as "The Avon Cemetery!." Even Avon's website lists it this way!. The problem being!.!.!. not being from that area, I have looked up the town's cemeteries online and there isn't one implicitly called "The Avon Cemetery!." Can anyone help me figure out which cemetery this may be!? A call to the town hall and a local funeral home got me no where!. I want to find the graves, but don't want to look through eight cemeteries to find them! Please help if you can!Www@QuestionHome@Com
