    1. [MODOUGLA-L] RE: Oak Forest Cemetery
    2. Steve, and everyone! Fancy you mentioned Oak Forest!! My great-aunt, Carol Hull, and I will be canvassing Oak Forest Cemetery this Saturday, May 19th. We will be writing down inscriptions and dates on all the stones. This record will be kept at the old church building, which is now a community building, and at the Douglas County Historical Society and Ozarks Genealogical Society. I NEED YOUR HELP! I have gone through the Historical Society's Cemetery Book (updated 1999) and Laine Sutherland's book (1995) -- several gravestones are gone. The Historical Society noted a few graves that are supposed to be there, based on newspaper accounts at the time of death. We will be asking for help from my great-grandmother's cousin, Lester Thomas, who lives next door, to help identify some of the unmarked graves. Do any of you have other suggestions as to who to contact, or do you know others who are believed to be buried there, but whose markers have been lost, or fieldstones moved? Carol and I want to make sure this is as accurate as possible and keep it up to date. Thanks!! Kristi Towe Bentonville, AR [email protected]
