I have one other place I will check but it is very unlikely. You might try contacting someone in that area involved with Random Acts of Genalogicial Kindness and see if someone might be willing to go for you. It is a very large cemetery for such a small town so don't be surprised if they don't have much luck. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Brandie, where is the Rocky Comfort Cemetery located?  Is it far from the Fox Cemetery?  We photographed it a couple of years ago so know how to get to it.   Thanks Carol - Olathe Ks --- On Wed, 9/15/10, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MOMcDona] Rocky Comfort Cemetery To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, September 15, 2010, 6:06 PM This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

I must make a correction. Pineville, not Southwest City is the county seat. There were two competing communities to be the county seat from 1849-1857. Rutledge lost to Pineville because the legislature passed a statute that a county seat had to be within 5 miles of the geographical center of a county. I live in McDonald County so have access to local records.
