Bill, Neither Mary Susan nor Warren Beckett appear in the published transcription, Lawrence Co. Mo. Tombstone Inscriptions, Vol. VII, Vineyard and Mt. Pleasant Townships, Mt. Olivet Cemetery. However, there are three Becketts buried there, p. 61: Beckett, Mira F., 28 Jun 1861 - 29 apr 1885, wife of G. W. Roy, infant son, aged 9 days Sarah E., 7 Aug 1857 - 28 Feb 1890, wife of Silas It is possible that they are buried there but that there were no stones when the transcription was made. There are also Becketts buried in nearby Pierce Township, but not the names you are researching. I also checked the published newspaper transcriptions for 1887-1899 and found only the following: Ruth Browning, Southwest Missouri Newspaper Abstracts, Vol. 6, Lawrence County Chieftain, 1894 - 1899, p. 19: 29 April 1897 issue: Died, Mrs. Mary A. Beckett of Mineral Springs, suicide. I presume Mineral Springs may refer to the area around Mineral Springs School, east of Cassville in Barry County. I do not know of a place named "Mineral Springs" in Lawrence County. Warren did not appear in the Lawrence County Death Register, 1883-1893 and neither Mary Susan Beckett nor son Warren Beckett are in the published transcription of the 1880 Lawrence Co. Census. Ross Cameron >>> [email protected] 05/28/03 04:48PM >>> I have been looking for the burials of My Great Grandmother, Mary Susan (Milam) Beckett, died probably 4 Jan 1894, and her son, Warren, died probably 1892 aged 15/16. I believe they were buried at Mt Olivet Church, but I have no documentation or proof. I hope someone can give me some information on them.
