All right! There she is: Mary J. VanMeter. With a number 21 next to her. I wonder if that's the plot number. I'll have to go back and see if I can find her again.

According to the Feb. 1, 1919, issue of "The Winchester Star," my great grandfather Bailey Mack VanMeter went to Agency to bury his mother on Thursday, Jan. 30, of that year. Her name was Mary Jane (McCandless)VanMeter. On Memorial Day, I visited Agency and tried finding her grave. I found the graves of the daughter and son-in-law with whom she was living in St. Joseph in 1910. They are John L. and Frances C. Berry. However, I did not find a grave for Mary Jane VanMeter. Of course, some of the older headstones are unreadable, and it looks like some are missing in places. Is there a listing anywhere of who was buried in that cemetery? Also, I noticed -- according to the sign at the entrance -- the cemetery was founded in 1925. But some of the tombstones look older than that. Are there pre-1925 burials there? Or is there another cemetery in Agency where the older burials are? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I'm having trouble tracing the VanMeter & McCandless family lines.

Here is a link to a listing of burials at Agency Cemetery. It is only an Index http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobuchan/AgencyCemetery.htm I'll see what else I can find.

What was previously the No. 2 Asylum became St. Joseph State Hospital and about 8 years ago moved across the street and became No.West Missouri Psychiatric Rehab Center. The medical records were transferred with the facility but I am not sure how far back they kept the records. I worked at the facility for 30+ years a social worker before retiring about 5 years ago. I do know they were putting some records on microfilm. There were some fascinating stories in these records and I do hope for the benefit of family members that they have kept these records. There is a small cemetery on the grounds of the old hospital where patients were buried when no family could be found to provide a burial elsewhere. While researching at the No West Mo. Genealogy Center, I noticed that they had a census for the state hospital about 1900. I am not sure if they have more than one year or not. The telephone number for the hospital is 816-387-2300 and the address is North West Mo. Psychiatric Rehab. Center, 3400 Frederick Blvd. St. Joseph, Mo. 64506. You would ask for medical records.
