Dear Listers, My brother and I will be visiting Golconda and Metropolis later this week to do some "on-site" research at both the County Clerk offices as well as the public libraries for more information on the Henry Shappard family who resided in Rose Bud during the 1850-1890s. I especially would like to find the gravesite of Henry's mother, Hanne Wilhelmine Overmark. After losing her husband, Fritz Schabbehard on the trip to America, she married Frederick Wilhelm Overmark in Pope County in 1854. She is listed as one of the heirs of Frederick's on his 1868 probate. Does anyone have any knowledge of her burial place? Any good places to start? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
