Of course, I'm asking your help AFTER I've been there. . . But, I wandered around the cemetery for a while looking for the grave of my ggrandmother's little sister who died in Walsenburg in 1883. We found the older section of the cemetery and spent an hour wandering through the weeds. But, needless to say, we couldn't find hers. So, I figured the list online must have been compiled in the 1930s and the tombstone had since vanished. However, getting home, I pulled up the usgenweb site and looked, again, at the cemetery listings. This note precedes the names. . . "The Masonic Cemetery was carefully copied in October 1979 by members of the Southeastern Colorado Genealogical Society and compiled by Christine Todd." My question. . . FINALLY. . . Is there a "plat" of the cemetery to see where the grave is and if it might still be marked? I'd appreciate any help! It seems that four or five children were born in Walsenburg. Only two lived past a year and by 1890, the family had returned to PA. THANKS! Bob Barndt Midland, TX

Robert, I have the listing for the cemetery as the index of photos on my Masonic Cemetery site, but unfortunately I don't have a photo of Agnes Lamb's headstone for you to view. I could actually have it, but it's not yet posted by either Karen or me yet. I also have a copy of the "cemetery book" maintained by the cemetery caretaker, but it's packed away in a box somewhere :/ (I recently moved to Canada from the US). I'll keep an eye out for it as I (far too slowly) unpack, and when I find it I'll let you know. It has every location of every grave plot, and is current as of 2001. I'll also look thru my not-yet-posted photos and see if there's one for Agnes.

Robert, BTW, her headstone reads: Lamb, Agnes --- 7 Jan 1883 Daughter of C. & M. Lamb, Age 10m 11d
