"Gene" - 1916 - 2001 Clinton Daily Democrat, Nov 7 2001 - Another item I found of interest http://users.commspeed.net/ewhite/geny86.html II. Joseph Jackson White was the son of James Harvey White We have been told that he [James Harvey White] was buried in the Old Johnston Cemetery which was covered with water from the Truman Dam. The Corps of Engineers are supposed to have moved all of the graves from this cemetery to the Wright's Creek Cemetery, but when we visited it, the headstones had not been moved and all the graves are simply marked "unknown".

Your query goes to the mailing list, but their answers do NOT show on the message board. http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/MO-CEMETERIES Hopefully, someone else will be of more help. The St. Clair County Message Board people are usually good to help also. Orlena
