    • Most of the Seese family were buried on private ground in unmarked graves. Only a few have been found. One oddity is the existence of duplicate granite markers for James W. Seese, 8/14/1868 - 6/2/1955. One is in the cemetery behind the schoolhouse at Alvy, while the other is in the Watts Cemetery on McIntyre Fork. His death record indicates burial at the McIntyre Cemetery.
