Hi everyone, I went to Brown Co. last Saturday and I talked to Leslie Decker he is 84 years young. And I asked him If he knew anyone that had a layout of Duncan cemetery plots. I told him my grandmother was buried there and my family was wanting to put in a headstone. He told me there was no plot of the older part of the cemetery because it was pauper graves and no one kept track of the plots. I felt so bad knowing that my grandmother was buried in a paupers grave. Could anyone help me with this?? I can not put in a stone with out knowing where she is buried. Also he told me there was an Indian cemetery the first road south of the alpines. anyone know about this My grandmother was a daughter of George W Hall Jr. and a granddaughter to George W Hall Sr and Charles C Bradley.
