    1. [ILCLAY-L] TRAVIS-MOSELEY Cemetery, Clay City Twp
    2. Below is an updated listing of the Bunny Travis (Moseley) Cemetery. It differs slightly from previously published data; this information was taken directly from the stones at the conclusion of our cemetery clean up day on Saturday, November 7, 1998. Aprroximately 15 members of the Moseley and Travis families participated in this effort. The work was easily accomplished thanks to the major advance efforts of Clay County residents Doug Shaffer (and his 3 sons) and his uncle, Zane Moseley. These men cut down 8 major dead trees, cleaned out other fallen trees , "whacked" a lot of weeds, mowed, etc. In spite of being "lost" for many years, the stones in this cemetery are in surprisingly good shape. Remarkably, several of the 8 dead trees had fallen; some live trees had fallen but none hit any stones. Only one stone is broken. Almost every stone has an accompanying "foot" stone. There appears to be numerous other unmarked burials and research continues to identify as many of them as possible.
