    1. [MOCASS] Pleasant Hill - looking for burial 1840
    2. Hello, Just signed on and hoping someone can help. Per the following obituary, December 1840 - Missouri Democrat Newspaper - I am trying to locate the burial of Capt. John Sterne. Do you think this is the correct "Pleasant Hill" in Cass Co they are naming? (1840) DIED, On the 27th inst, at Pleasant Hill, (the residence of J L Quisenberry,) Capt John Sterne, a Virginia, in the 80th year of his age.  About five days before his death, he seemed to be sensible that his dissolution was near at hand, and became much interested about his soul's salvation.  On the day before he died, he said he had, by faith, seen Heaven, and he felt like he had a place there.  He was perfectly resigned to death; and his relations and friends may console themselves, that through his absent from us, yet, we believe, he is present with the Lord.  ;Though deep the slumbers of the tomb, Though dark that bed of clay, Yet shall he wake and leave that gloom.. For everlasting day. ;  (The editors of the Fredericksburg papers will please copy)  Corth. end obit Capt John Sterne's daughter named Elizabeth was married to a James Quisenberry, and I find them St Louis census in 1850. The family came from Stafford Co Va after 1820. Any leads welcome, even to just confirm I have the correct "Pleasant Hill". Thanks Anne
