I live in Ontario, Canada. My Grandparents immigrated here in early 1950's. Grandpa spoke of his Grandfather (Samuel) often. And my son loves to play chess and does quite well! I am thrilled to find this information and these photos! We plan to visit this cemetery on our next visit to the UK and now thanks to you - have wonderful directions. I am wondering if the text from his obituary could be forwarded to me as it is too blurry to read? Much appreciated!
