I wonder if there are ward/branch records available for Green River/Blake/Elgin for that period. These records often note deaths. I've looked at ward/branch records for the 1870s-early 1900s for other places, and most can be found on microlfilm from the FHL. Have you checked the FHL catalog for church/vital records for that area? If you REALLY had lots of time, you could check the 1870/1880/1900 censuses, note families living in the area, then search in Ancestral File, looking for people who died or were buried in those towns. This would require a lot of work, but there may not have been many families there 1870-1880. ____________________Reply Separator____________________ Subject: [HANDCART-L] Old Green River Cemetery (UTAH) Author: Joanne Ekker <jekker@fs1.co.emery.ut.us> Date: 8/6/98 1:59 PM Help, help! My project is an old cemetery in Green River UTAH. The records have been lost over time. As far as I can tell it started 1865 to 1930. The cemetery was actually closed in 1926, however it was reopened at least once to keep family members together. If you have decendants from the Green River area. Especially if you have records of them death. I need to here from you. Green River was once called Blake. Our town is divided by the river, that side of town was called Elgin. Also Green River is located in 2 counties so watch for EMERY and GRAND counties. And before 1880 it was San Pete County. If you can help I'd be so grateful.
