At Salem Cemetery I will note that on most of the unmarked graves was a metal type stob at the top which always said "Stephens" as in Stephens Undertaking that I see so much of. I do not know for sure but will find out how to contact them tomorrow & they have the info for those burials, however, the names have came off of most of them but they should have kept a plat that was numbered. Let me use the word should have. If I have a year & name, then we can find them with their info. I remember one grave was marked with a large stone. Still there should be a record, even if at the courthouse. I have had to do this myself. Also, since I know most of the funeral homes already, they should have cards on these people also that give family members names & telephone #'s. Lisa

It appears to me that Mrs. J.L. Barker is in one of our unmarked graves in Salem Cemetery. I did that one myself & I went back & looked & do not see her. I wish I had a date for her on this Obit but I don't therefore, we have solved one unmarked with this obituary. I will have to look up the marriage at the archives for you. I have not got around to them yet. Also check the Coroner reports that Virginia just finshed putting in for me & see if her name is there. It only lists the name & folder # & Date, but that is useful. It had 50 & now it has 127. I am interested in this date also because it will help locate an unmarked grave in Salem Cemetery. Lisa
