I haven't had a cemetery post in years. We just spent a couple of days near Blairsville, spending most our time in the Choestoe Community. The Choestoe community is where my ancestors were pioneers in the 1830s and 40s, and some descendants are still around today.
I have no idea who Montgromery "Monty" Holt is. I just thought the marker was interesting. He must have been a trombone player.
