Story--Lone, long-lost grave site:  In 1873, when my grandfather was 5 years old, his father, Charles William Story, died and was buried on "the Keyes property" in Smith County.  Sometime in the 1960's, my grandfather, with the help of an uncle, located the grave and put a slab and a new marker on it.  The little shelter that was once there had burned.  No one wrote down where the grave was located and the next generation (mine) is trying to find it.  It is an isolated grave, not in a cemetery.  Any help in locating the grave would be much appreciated.  Thanks.   Lou Ann Lee.  lou34l@datasync.com   ^07-03
