Jan, Not sure that is the one we are referring to, although I do find a Bethel Ridge Cemetery listed in Shaw's Point Twp., which is evidently the one you are referring to. This is located on the central eastern edge of Macoupin close to Montgomery Co. We are referring to one in Barr Twp. which is located northwestern edge and close to Greene County. Quite a distance apart. I want to get down to Barr this week, not sure I will make it. Every Memorial Day I am going to go and haven't made it yet. Someone needs to put flowers on all those kin of mine in Asbury. If I make it, I will drive around if the weather cooperates. One doesn't want to wander around Barr if it has rained. Might have to go through that *creek* Gloria referred to..LOL. Wish I had time to read Asbury Cemetery, but it is just too big for one trip. Maybe I can start and go back sometime. Obviously it needs reread as Bob Colby found several that weren't listed and I know my gggrandparents are there and they aren't listed. We need a new map with the 911 named road listings. Can anyone send me a copy of one for Barr Twp.? Would really appreciate it.
