    3. List Readers, here is one that some of you might have been looking for. Callaway Funeral Home listed him as B. H. Maas. It was a lucky day when Phyllis Long found him in the death certificates listed as Benjamin Herman Moss. And yes, the death dates and place of burial match. It appears from the death certificate that his name was Moss, but I am curious if any of you have him listed as Maas as he was transcribed in Callaway Funeral Home records. I think maybe he is incorrectly listed in Callaway so I changed the spelling on our pages from Maas to Moss. but If we have it wrong, please do let us know. Benjamin was born in Jefferson City in Cole County, and is buried in Kings Prairie Cemetery - New Liberty Cemetery. As you probably already know that cemetery is really Kings Prairie Cemetery and is located at New Liberty Church but we have it on line as New Liberty Cemetery.  I inherited it named incorrectly but haven't changed it. I suppose it should be changed to read correctly but would mean changing a lot of files and the directory, too, to do so. Oh, and some interesting trivia - a cemetery that is next to a church is called a graveyard and one without a church is really called a cemetery. We have all of ours in Barry County listed as cemeteries - but that is also correct, I think - well, anyway, I hope so. *smile* Anyway, for those of you who have been looking for Benjamin, you owe Phyllis Long a big thank you for finding him in the death certificates.  http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/cemetery/newliberty/newliberty.htm Donna Cooper
