I'm not clear on this. How does a cemetery get destroyed? Is it just that the stones are destroyed? If so, why move any of the recovered stones to a 'viable' cemetery and leave the remains behind? I don't get it unless this was found located on someone's personal property and they just want to preserve the stones they recovered. Anyone else confused about this?

Last Winter I became of two cemeteries in Western Callaway County with have been destroyed; both of which are Holt Family Cemeteries, Hiram Holt and Robert Holt (Sr.). I have found Probate records on the Hiram Holt Family and am preparing to petition the County Court to relocate the recovered stones to aviable cemetery; however I am having difficulties determining the first and second generation descendants of Robert Holt (Sr.) and where they are buried. Any information that you might be able to share with me regarding this family and descendants, particularly burial locations, would be sincerely appreciated. You may reach me at my personal e-mail address or thrugh KCHSoc using [email protected] . Thank you for your assistance.
