I don't have info on reverse emigration at the moment but when I was looking through some information I have on the La Plata Cemetery I found something interesting. In the Original Tract Block 2 lot 36 the following people were laid to rest James Newton 1831 - 1913 Elizabeth 1837 - 1903 John died 4/28/1893, 70 years William 1/13/1827 - 8/11/1902 Minnie 4/26/1831 - 9/13/1903 **** Is it possible that Minnie could be Milly? I want to check the photos I took of the stones in the cemetery when I was there to see if I have a photo of the headstone in case it was a typo in the documents. I can't do this now though as I am in San Francisco for work until March 10th. Has anyone come across any additional information regarding Milly or a Minnie?
