Asa Willicox

Tombstone Hunt Completed

Who knew on a trip that I took to New York a few months back I would have the answer to a request on Find a Grave. After returning from my trip I went through the photographs I took. As normal I sometimes compare the photos and information with that on Find a Grave. I came across a photo request for Asa Willcox, I was so happy to find it was one in the collections that I took.
