    1. [KSReno] Re: Reno County Cemetery Book?
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Glass Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Vm.2ADE/1207.1 Message Board Post: If you have any of the mother's husband's names available that could be checked as possibilities, it would help in finding the child. Can you clarify the question please? The problem: None of the cemeteries in the cemetery book are segregated with just the occupants of one particular cemetery listed, unlike several other cemetery books I have seen in other locales. The Reno County Cemetery Book is set up in an alphabetical format, last name first, with listings for each name encompassing the entire county. I'm not aware of any databases that will break it down by cemetery or by first names at this time. Unless one has access to the specific records for the Abbyville cemetery, or a nearby cemetery that might have been used (which may be in the hands of the Reno County Courthouse, or may be with the Westminster Township Clerk or township maintenance supervisor), it would be difficult to go through the entire book trying to find Orval Clark __?__ at the cemetery referred to as # 31-1. Cemetery # 31-1 is located about 0.5 miles north of Abbeyville and is a well-kept place with over 250 graves. Cemetery # 31-2 is the Westminster cemetery located 1.5 miles east and 2 miles south of Abbyville, and is a neglected cemetery with 5 documented stones and an unknown number of burials.
