JESTERposted by Steve Northsea on Wednesday, October 1, 1997Since I am known to do genealogical research the local paper contacted me re: a lone grave site with headstone located at Dunnellon Airport. They want to find something out about the person buried there and try to keep from having the gravesite destroyed. Can anyone suggest how to find out about the person buried and why he is there of all places? The name was T. B. JESTER b. 10 August 1841 and d. 20 August 1909.
