Hello Jeff, I had been told that BH, Sr., was buried in Ward Cemetery. When I saw his tombstone in Campground I questioned the descendant who had told me about his burial at Ward. I was told that as far as he knew, he was still buried at Ward, that he knew nothing about a tombstone in Campground. The next time I went to Campground I had a probe with me. I probed the area in front of the tombstone and found that there is a vault buried there. I found that puzzling, since vaults have not been in use that long. Later, I discovered that "he" had been moved from Ward to Campground. Now, you say a "ceremonial" shovel of dirt was taken to Camp Ground? Well, I wasn't there, but if "something" wasn't moved to Campground and buried in a vault, then I wonder who is buried in the place where BH, Sr.'s tombstone is? Clyde
