There is a William C. Belcher or a William Carroll Belcher buried there. I have reason to believe that is my great grandfather. If someone has access to this book, would you please do a look up for me and send me the wording and dates? I had always assumed he was buried beside my great grandmother in Stoddard County, MO until I read the application papers for his Civil War pension. Thank you for your help.
