Gravestone J.L. McCandless

These gravestones for John and Margaret McCandless are located in the old upper section of Muddy Creek Cemetery. Beside their stones was the stone of J. L. McCandless, at present unidentified. This broken stone has been replaced in the ground, burying other information. The J. L. McCandless stone was immediately to the right of the John and Margaret McCandless stones. Immediately to their left was a small infant Snyder stone, possibly a child of their daughter Julia McCandless who married William Snyder.
