  1. Caroline LeGresley LeSueur's headstone in St. Johns cemetery is in poor condition. It appears to be made of cement and is cracking. I'd be willing to arrange for and help pay for a replacement marker. I'm a descendant of John and Caroline LeSueur through Harriet Ellen LeSueur Warner. My name is Jon Brian Warner. jbwarner5@gmail.com
