I called and spoke to the woman who's running the L. Horton Funeral Home in Sanford. This was the family funeral home that buried Floyd 34 years ago. She is adamant that they have no surviving records of him nor do they have a legend of the White Oak cemetery. I wondered aloud how they can keep from burying people on top of each other if they still use the cemetery but don't know who's buried where out there. She is not the first person to imply that maybe they haven't been so careful over the years about who's buried on top of whom...
She gave me some names of persons in the family who are no longer associated with the business but once were and might remember something - haven't been able to reach either of them so far...
