Thank you for your reply. I will contact my cousin and try to get directions. She did try to visit the gravesite (not sure when) and was not allowed by the owner. The owner was using the land as a pasture. I would imagine by now there would not be much left. Since James Corder was not buried in a cemetery, I am assuming that it was on his land. I will contact you as soon as I can get directions. Thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: Sharon & Wayne Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 30, 2006 10:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MO-CEM] Gravesite of James Corder > The following message was posted as a reply on the Ancestry.com > Message Board indicated below. > > The 1876 Historical Atlas for Callaway County, Missouri shows that J.
