You might ask the hospital or facility where your gr aunt died about her burial. The County should also have information about her death if she was considered an indigent. These should be public records, especially if the county or state was involved. juanita >> Author: gwill65074 > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.missouri.coun > ties.jackson/6257/mb.ashx > I have a great aunt that passed away in 1987.

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
