Kathleen in KC - I have a two volume set of cemetery books on Bates Co., MO. The books were published in 1980, by E. J. Christiansen. I would imagine that the reading of all the headstones in the cemeteries was done in the 1970's. I looked for Judd in the index. There are no Judds listed in the index. I would suggest contacting the courthhouse in Butler, MO, about a death certificate for Phineas Judd. You might be able to find out where Phineas is buried. Sharyn southern California
