Sarah Atchison (Mem. #183064602)?  She was apparently the wife of my 1st cousin once removed (LTJG Burton Laurence Heyes) who was lost at sea in WWII.  I am currently in Honolulu where I visited his memorial at Punchbowl Memorial here.  I have been unable to find any other information on her besides this Find A Grave memorial, an application for a gravestone she commissioned for Burton and a rolodex card listing their marriage.  It would be nice to learn more about her family.  Thanks to anyone willing to do any research on her family
