It is really hard to find gravestones in Mt. Hope because there isn't a directory. While burials are listed in "Gone Home" by Eileen Derr, nothing (at least nothing I found) tells you where to look once you get to the cemetery, and it is quite large. There is a car dealer in Mound City, I think it's the Chevrolet dealer, who has a 1938 map of cemetery lots that were purchased by that time. I was lucky enough to find my family by this means. Although the surname was the same, the buyer of the plot didn't have the same first name of any of the people that I knew about at that time. "Gone Home" is in the library in Mound City, in the City Hall. It isn't open mornings or at least not all mornings.
