Dan, Last year I was part of the project to do all the cemeteries of Utah Co. If you still think she might be buried there you could call the FHC at BYU 378-6200 and ask someone to look in the big book for you. Salt Lake County is supposed to be doing the same thing, but I am not sure in the project status. Loni Gardner, do you know? I might sugget the follwing as alternatives: Try the Obituary Card Index on film that the LDS Church has available. For the very early years, especially, many of the pioneer deaths are reported, regardless of where they took place. Also there is the Early Church Info Card File and the Journal History of the Church on film. It lists regular people not just the famous folks! Also there can't have been too many cemeteries that early on. You could actually call the cemeteries and ask them to seach there files for you. I would not have found my Great Grandmother if I hadn't checked with the office of the Wasatch Lawn Cemetery. My Great Grandfather and uncle have a stone because they were military, but she does not. She is right by the tree next to her husband, they told me. Laurie
