Mary, I went and checked again today, and it appears to me that they either don't have a list by Warren Van Dine, or else the list by Hazel Boston Kelly was done as part of the Van Dine project. Her list omits many stones that are now shown on the Hancock County genweb site. I'm trying to determine whether or how many of the stones on the genweb site have actually been seen by someone in recent years, or whether they have been included due to obituaries saying they were buried there (which would not necessarily mean they had a stone).
