    3. Hello Wayne County Researchers When I was back in Wayne County in 2001, I met with the trustees for Thomason Cemetery near Wayne City. They were very cooperative and allowed me to scan in their journal of all purchases of lots at the cemetery. They also let me copy their plat map of where people are buried. The maps are very large ("D" size) and I've had trouble trying to figure out how to post them on the website. I have posted a link to the information I got from their journals of who purchased lots. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilwayne/cem/thomason/Thomason-Cemetery-Plot-Purchase-Records3.html Sometimes it was hard to figure out the journal because people traded lots or resold them to someone else. Now, question for you. If you see members of your family on the lot sales records but know they were never buried at Thomason, could you let me know? I would like to help the trustrees out. There are plots that were purchased but never used and those lots get left empty while their is more demand for space to bury people. They have been unable to contact family members of some of these "empty" lots and would like to talk to family members to decide what to do about these lots. -- Sandy (Whalen) Bauer http://www.whalen-family.org "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Champagne in one hand - strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO - What a Ride!"
