Give me a break!! Someone suggested having a dowser go over the area and search for graves. I am a dowser, but it's nerve wracking enough to have someone, who is sure you can find exactly what you're hoping to find in a defined area. One has to walk slowly over any given plot of ground. Generally, the acreage will be in 40 acre plots and that would take forever and you could still miss finding the graves as some will be children and some adults and unless you're looking for the upper part of a body, you can miss any children. Also, the dowser must be able to tell if there is a male or female under the ground and some can find the buried objects, which can be big rocks, tree limbs, fence posts, etc. as well as graves, but won't have a clue if it's a human remains, a rock, etc. unless it is in a fairly well defined area of search. About a year ago, I was asked to go to a cemetery and witch for 13 burials in an unmarked area. I found all of them, determined the sex and the approximate height of each person. From my findings, the man was able to identify almost all his relatives as he knew the names, sex and age they died. He was absolutely delighted to be able to determine almost all the persons by the descriptions I was able to give him. I'm sorry to be such a "wet blanket" about dowsing for graves in a large area, but I know how hard it would be to find graves in a 40-acre plot of ground. The best of dowsers could miss them in that large a plot of ground. When I reread this, I realized a whole quarter section is being considered and that is 160 acres!! Jennie > Last week I went with the land owner to try and find where my family cemetery might be. It was disappointing in that there was absolutely no area that wasn't being used as pasture and no signs of stones anywhere. It appears that the cemetery has been buried/bulldozed/trampled by cows a long time ago. We don't have an exact location, just the deed stating the general section quarter.<

Ginny go to http://www.tommymarkham.com/BedfordCounty/dowsingforgraves.htm I think this might help you if you can do it or find someone that can go Dowsing for Graves.

Jim, Per the 'Howard County Cemetery Records' by Karen Boggs and Louis Coutts the Hackley Cemetery is "off Highway 5 on Howard County Road 210". They show T 51 R 16 S 20, but I am not sure if that helps or not. I sure wouldn't help me. Ms. Cecil V. Boyd P.S. I have a very distant connection to Rhoda M. Snavely, via her husband William B.

I have to put in my two cents about cleaning old cemeteries. A friend of mine, my sister and I are trying to set up a website for Kerlin Cemetery which is located near Halls, MO in Buchanan County. As time permits we go and photograph the tombstones and transcribe the writings on the tombstones. Kerlin is usually mowed a couple of times each year. However, the grass was about a foot tall. Trying to find the tombstones was nearly impossible. Last Sunday several of us who have family buried there met to mow and weed-eat and clean up the cemetery. This cemetery is one of the oldest in Buchanan County. It is located in the bluffs on a pretty steep hillside. My main fear was snakes. And, most of the snakes would either be copperheads or rattlesnakes. Luckily, all that was seen was 4 garter snakes. Moreover,, I didn't actually see any! I was sure proud when we got home. We had really did something that day cleaning it up. Below is the link for the website. You can click on the thumbnail and see all of us and the hillside behind us that we had to contend with. And, as time permits, I will be adding more names and pictures. My gr-gr-gr grandfather William McCoy was buried at Kerlin in 1866. Calvin Funk http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.com/~crfunk/kerlin.html

I'm looking for my gggrandparents, James and Harriet Dees/Deese burial location. I've only been able to find them on the 1850 Newton Co., Mo. census listed with several children. From the birthplaces of the children, it appears the family went from Tn to Ill. to Mo. Later two of the children, Wiley Dees and Elizabeth Eveline Dees (later Feagan) show up in Jefferson Co., Ill., but I know nothing about the parents or any of the other children. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Elaine
