If a county coroner contact the county in question or a hospital contact it. Based on what you stated my friend supposes the county would have sought the most favorable price from a funeral home/cemetery for burial.

There is no death certificate that I could find.? I couple of weeks ago, it suddenly dawned on me that the coynty would have some type of record.? The next time I go there, I will check the probate records.? Thanks for reminding me-I had actually forgotten (due to a senior week)?I had thought about looking at the county records! ? Thanks, Juanita.

Cathy, The only date I know for sure is 1900.? He is the 1900 census at the "Insane Asylum for the Feeble-Minded" in Nevada at that time.? Horrible name, isn't it?? Anyway, I also saw his name in the Morgan County (where he was born and married)?newspapers where the probate tranactions were printed.? The newspapers listed what the county paid for him to be a patient at the hospital.? I saw this kind of information a few times after 1900 and then nothing.? He was not listed Missouri census ?in 1910.? Family stories say he died there and I did find his name as one who is in the cemetery. His wife (my great-grandmother) was Matilda (?) Minerva Findley Smith.? His children were Addie (my grandmother, Patsy, Millton, Dave, and one other daughter whose name escapes me at the moment. Thanks for any help you can give me.? I appreciate it very much.

The records which are online are not complete by any means and in my own family, they give no place of burial for several relatives. Takes a lot of tracking to finally get to the nitty-gritty of where your relatives are located. **************************************See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004)

ok the name of that cemetery is Newton Burial Ground. My daughter is going to see if she can find the headstone for you. If we find it I will send you a pic. I will also start looking to see if I can find records regarding his hospitalization. That might not be easy due to confidentiality. But I will attempt it.

the mental hospital that I used to work at had a cemetery on the grounds because we had alot of patients that were left by the families and never acknowledged again and we buried alot of them there. I dont know if that is common for mental hospitals or not. juanita <[email protected]> wrote: You might ask the hospital or facility where your gr aunt died about her burial.

Juanita; Which county court had jurisdiction? Look that death certificate over carefully, there may be additional pages. State Hospital was at St. Joseph. Notice of death was sent to court of assignment. Burial by number at facility( Now I am told A paved parking lot. I am not sure I believe this) In My case I found the consignment records, in the probate box of his father. Was Lucky to receive a censured report from St Joe. His family claims they were never notified. His , son who had been adopted out went to the courthouse, after I gave him copies and said the clerk gave him the papers.(this one I question also.) anyway they are no longer in the file box. They had been microfilmed. bud
