Wow, Hortense MO is essentially history. It's down to just 1 residence. I guess the closest cemetery is Hall Cemetery (aka: James Cemetery), which is reportedly in section 16, south of Hortense. There are some other cemeteries to the east, half way to Leesville.

Finley(Findley) Ross reportedly died in 1865 and was buried at Hortense. On a trip to Mo last year I found James wife Susanna Ross in the Combs Cemetery buried with her son David A. Ross. The Combs cemetery lists them as husband and wife but they are mother and son. > > I am really needing information about Hortense and if there is an existing cemetery that is not listed.
