Thanks Rachel it does. The question arose when I spoke to a gentleman in the old records center for the dept. of health located in Carthage, Mo. He couldn't find Amanda or George in the Webb City cemetery book and as I said before he only found George listed in the Hedge-Lewis Mortuary to 1940 book. I just wanted to make sure they were in Webb City cemetery.

I was in Carthage as recently as April. A fellow researcher and distant cousin went with me, and believe me she knows her way around. First stop was the Library I believe it was. In the basement was the Genealogy Department. She asked for copies of any cards in their files on certain names. This was to confirm they indeed were buried in the Webb City Cemetery. The map they gave us wasn't that great. Next we found City Hall. Very small building, and I thought it was a bank. Actually had a drive up window. Anyway she explained what we wished and they had better records. And better directions for finding the graves. But there was a family member that died in 1948 that was not listed on the records at the Library. When in City Hall I forgot to ask about that. But I bet they would have had something. During our walking of the cemetery, sure enough in the next plot was the husband and wife I mentioned above. So be better organized than I am, makes notes and don't overlook one bit of info. Good luck. Pat B. Nyssa, Oregon ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Hall" <jhall@voyager.net> To: <MOJASPER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2002 2:12 PM Subject: Re: [MOJASPER] George L.
