My ancestory must have had something to do with that list, because they hit eveyone of them. Thanks for that connection with reality Maureen in RI. Dave -B in OK.

Are cemeteries in this area on line or is there a published book on the cemeteries in Green Co.? Any advice or info would be appreciated. Pat Alsup Hardman

Hi Gang, This news item from Alabama was posted to another list I am subbed to. Thought it very interesting in light of some of the recent discussions. Maureen in RI

Dear List Members, We all are fighting the virus that is running through the system now. Please know that I am spending hours and hours a day working with those on my lists who have this virus. When I find out they have it, the member is unsubscribed from the list until their computer is cleaned and then they are welcomed back with open arms. Just remember, I am behind the scenes working on it. If you get a posting with an attachement -- DO NOT OPEN IT -- unless you know 100 % who it is from and what it is and then run a scan on it before you open it. DO NOT OPEN ANY THING THAT COME WITH THE FOLLOWING: "Take a look to the attachment" I would also ask that you do not post to the list when you get a message with the virus. If you got it, and it came from a List Member, then most likely I got it and most members of the list got it and we are ALL DELETING IT. :) These viruses cannot be passed through Rootsweb via the lists, but they can be passed to you personally..so be careful and if you do not know and have a question - contact me personally KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net or join the Virus Discussion mailing list by sending the word subscribe to VIRUS-DISCUSSION-L-REQUEST@rootsweb.com I appreciate you and your support of me and forgive me for breaking my own rules by posting this virus message. :) Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Many Confederate Vets. were at the Confederate Old Soldiers Home at Higginsville, we too have someone buried there- There would not have been a Confederate Old Soldiers Home in 1864- which was the date in question as to a burial place. Below was taken from a website dealing with Higginsville. The Missouri State Archives maintains the Higginsville records now. THE CONFEDERATE CEMETERY. A graveyard where soldiers of the Confederate Home and their wives are buried. A few other Confederate Soldiers (such as Quantrill) are buried here as well. The Confederate Cemetery is adjacent to the Confederate Chapel In June 1893, the Confederate Home was formally dedicated Construction of its buildings had begun in 1891 on 365 acres located one mile north of Higginsville and purchased from Grove Young for $18,000The Home was to house those Confederate veterans who were Less fortunate The Chapel was built in 1892 with funds contributed by the ladies of Lafayette County. A hospital was built in 1895. Financing the Home became more and more difficult, until the State of Missouri took over its operation and property in 1897 ----- Original Message ----- From: "marilyn orr" <maagn23@hcis.net> To: <MO-CEMETERIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2001 12:46 PM Subject: Re: [MO-CEM] confederate soldier's grave? > There is also a confederate soldiers cemetery in Hihhinsville, Lafayette Co, > MO.
