    3. Maple Hill in Osceola is a big cemetery. Go to Kale's Funeral Home, about 1 block north of the intersection of Highways 34 & 69, they should have a plat map. Kale's is the big white building directly across the street east of the Christian Church. For Leon Cemetery, they have a plat map at city hall. This is catty-corner across the street from Loving Chapel and directly across the street from the library - at the intersection of Highways 69 & 2. I'm not sure where you can find a plat map for Murray Cemetery. You might ask at Kale's Funeral Home since they do burials there, too. Grand River Cemetery isn't that big compared to the others you mentioned. I don't know who to contact for that plat map. If you are in Leon before going there - you might ask at Slade-O'Donnel's Funeral Home since they do burials there. Slade's is located on the n. side of Highway 2 - (going by memory) about 3 to 4 blocks east of the Dairy Queen. If you are going to Ringgold County (none of the cemeteries you list are in Ringgold County), stop at the library at Mount Ayr (s.w corner of the square). They have a room packed full of genealogical materials and town centennial books. In there is Raymond V. Banner's book listing and platting out Ringgold County's cemeteries with burials up to the year 2000, I think. The librarians there are wonderful and can help you find what you are looking for. Hope this helps. Good luck! Sharon R.
