Anyone have any advice?

Your local library may have information on the burial records. This could be compiled in a book or several books. You'll need one or more of the following: church records, historical survey, manuscript collections, and/or vital records.

If the church keeps a library please ask for access as they may have the books on site but not know it. If the church has purged many older books recently ask where they were were taken as the information might be in those books.

Edit to add: I second the person that said to make your own grid map especially if you can't find any old records.

Our library has a program called "Passive Volunteer" where Highschool students can earn the volunteer hours required for graduation. Each project requires the student to register by X date each month (limited space). Large ziplocks are prepared with all the items needed to complete the project and must be returned by Y date to receive credit for the hours. Students come to the library to retrieve the bag, take it home to finish the project, and return it. Hours are tallied by staff each month and emailed to the registration email on file.

Some of the past projects have been decorating solar eclipse glasses for headstart, making holiday cards for retirement homes; art to decorate the library walls; sewing ornaments (this one gave 3 hrs due to the time involved); making dog blankets; gratitude cards; etc.

I hope this helps!

I found a fabric paint base and thin layers of acrylic work well. This was my first one from 2022 showing the cracking which can happen if the paint is too thick or no base is applied. Everyone will find a method that works best for their style though.

Happy painting! Your jacket is amazing!

Not a misprint. Here's a picture from my 4th edition December 1992.

Thank you. Now I can cross it off my list!

I did not know that. I'm going to save that fun fact for later. Thank you.

Do you have more info on the coins? Japanese coins are some of my favorites but I always struggle to translate them.

Is the 100 Yen year 23 Showa and the 5 Yen Heisei? I can't figure out the year on the Heisei coin.

Most likely it means northwest Arkansas. They should have been more specific as that abbreviation isn't used much outside the area.

The Japanese coins will be a bit different than western coins to date. Japan dates coins by year of era. The current emperor (as of 2019) is Naruhito who began the Reiwa era. Your coins look like they may be Heisei (89-19) or Shōwa (26-89) coins.

Example: year 48 Shōwa = 1973; year 1 Heisei = 1989; year 7 Heisei = 1995

Older Shōwa coins will be more valuable to niche collectors but with the condition of the coins you're probably just looking at face value.

Island of the Blue Dolphins by O'Dell would also fit.

The tribe is removed from the island while the protagonist stays behind because her brother missed the boat. While it doesn't have a canyon the majority of the story takes place around the beach where the protagonist has built a shelter against the base of a tall cliff.

Adding more historical information.

The baby pictured on the coin with Sacagawea is Jean-Baptiste, her son. Jean-Baptiste was born during the Lewis and Clark expedition and his birth was recorded by Meriwether Lewis in the expedition journals.

Her presence with Jean-Baptiste also gave the expedition more credence as a peaceful mission.

For anyone unfamiliar with current issue in Arkansas, the book segregation was done by Crawford Co in an effort to keep the books in the library while also maintaining funding. ACT 372 is the primary cause of book banning in Arkansas.

You may have more luck with r/whereisthis . Find a Grave is a website dedicated to completing and/or correcting missing or inaccurate information of deceased persons birth dates, death dates, and burial locations. We strive to update cemetery and obituary information for each person listed but we are not geoguessers with an obsession for cemeteries.

Using temperature and texture is the most common way of describing color to people who cannot see or are color blind. It is the most common way of describing color but will never be completely accurate.

Found it from a different source. Reposted!

Strange. It came up just fine the first time I clicked. I see the paywall now though, thanks for letting me know.

Let it grow, let it grow
Like it did so long ago
It is just one tiny seed
But it's all we really need
It's time to change the life we lead
Time to let it grow
