The online listing that you refer to is only a partial at best. There are thousands of burials in Hillcrest. It is probably the largest cemetery in the county. There are Bellamy (Bellama) burials in Burdette Cemetery in Callaway County.

Actually, it doesn't matter if it's a partial or not. Even a complete listing would be of readable headstones. If the headstone isn't readable, was destroyed, was never on the grave or was just missed, most tombstone listings won't have them. In some cases, they will appear on earlier lists, but be gone on others. Stones from 1949 could still be in these categories. Some stones didn't hold up well at all. http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=29318&CScn=Hillcrest&CScntry=4&CSst=26& You can register on site, www.findagrave.com then add her and request a photo. If she has one, a kind volunteer may be able to find it, and post it on her memorial for you. If she doesn't, you have placed her where others will also be able to find her Memorial. I suggest you get a free email such as www.yahoo.com for use on sites such as this. I've never gotten a lot of spam results from it, but it helps keep my main email safer if a site does do it. http://www.linkpendium.com/genealogy/USA/MO/Callaway/ Orlena ~~~~~ Bennett <jasmar10@verizon.net> wrote: Can someone please advise if the transcription on the link below is a partial listing?

Think you so much for your time you are so great. Benjamin Bray lived in Ozark County, MO. and by 9-1861 he answerad the call to join the MO. State Guard Militia.

Number one remember MO. is one of the state where Civil war deaths were ordered not to be recorded(talked about) marked burials frequently had no dates. Supposedly there is a difference round top markers Union , pointed markers confederate. I am sure this is a wags story but? But I do know locally markers were not ingraved until after the war, even on civilians. So finding his service record CSR at the state Archives(adj. Generals records are moved to Archives. A phone call will get you the record mailed to you. -----Original Message----- From: mo-cemeteries-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:mo-cemeteries-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Orlena Sent: Friday, July 06, 2007 4:52 PM To: mo-cemeteries@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MO-CEMETERIES] Headstone pictures - Benjamin B.

I gather you are talking about First Baptist Church Cemetery. They certainly are taking good care of that cemetery. It contains about 46 burials, so is sizable. Every time I've been there the gate is unlocked. So they have started to lock it, heh?

Nothing is forever. Very few things last 1,000 years, but nothing lasts forever. Yes, you can replace the stones, but it's not likely to continue for more than 1,000 years and is certainly not going to last forever.
