I nice man from LasVegas responded with the location. Two moves later, I can't find the info, I can't remember the county, the name of the cemetary or even the man's name who gave me the info other than he was from Las Vegas. So, I start from square one, again. And I promise not to lose the info! I'm looking for the location of the grave of Chester Mansford Helt. Was last seen on the Cherryvale Township Census, June 1880. Wife Mary Alice Pattee Helt; last child born to Chester Mansford Helt was Earl Helt, born May 26, 1888. Mary Alice went on to claim land in the land run of 1889 in Oklahoma. Mary Alice appears on the first territorial census of Oklahoma as a widow. Family ledgend is that Chester died when a tree fell on him. I do remember that the grave is either in Montgomery or Labette countys in Kansas. No vital (death) record with the State of Kansas. Chester was born August 31, 1842 in Helt township, Indiana.
