I suggest you contact mountain grove cemeteyy and see if they can tell you anything. Tell them who you are looking for and hopefully they can give you a burial date and maybe who else is buried with him if there is a family plot. If you have specifics you can also contact the Historical Collections Department of the Bridgeport public library and have them do a search of the party you are looking for. They can search city directories to trace a family for you and maybe even narrow down a death date for you. If you have the dates thats helpful and they can look up obits in old editions of the paper on microfilm. In order to order the death records from Vital Records of Bridgeport at Mclevy Hall you have to have their exacte dates of death. I hope this information is helpful too you. The historical collections charges a small fee of $5 dollars for the research and .10cents for e! ach copy made. Vital records charges I believe $5.00 per record.
