Part of the problem I've run across is that his name isn't listed in the cemetery listing books. My great grandmother (who lived to be about 96 yrs) used to visit his grave at the Hartford Cemetery. When he died, she couldn't afford a marker. She used some broken dishes for his gravestone. I have an aunt who visited his grave with my ggrandmother many times, who says the same thing that I've heard thru the years. He's buried on one side of my ggrandmother and her other husband is on the other side. I've talked with Mr. Pickering next door. I've also talked to the gentleman at the monument company. But since he uses the same book that the library has, my ggrandfather's name isn't in it. According to Mr. Pickering, there are people buried in the cemetery that they have no record of. When they get ready for a burial (or sell a burial site), he has to go out and put a rod in the ground to make sure there isn't a casket under the ground. I should have asked him about doing it while I was there, but he had already explained his wife wasn't well and I didn't want to impose on him any more than necessary at that point. I'll try writing the clerks office and see if they have a map of the cemetery. We're also planning on making the trip back there next year (if nothing else happens here) and possibly then I'll be able to see what I can find out. I thank all of you who have responded to my request. Oh, and the library also has a map of the county and each cemetery in the county is marked on it. Also the ones just inside Schuyler Co. Some of the cemeteries on the map are closed or on private property that no one can get to, but the map was invaluable when I was there.

Deb, Sorry, there were NO listings for any McKern or Nowel's in any of the census'. It's going to take awhile to look for all the different Johnson's that you've asked for. Even tho the census is indexed, it's indexed by last name only. The pages are done in the order of the original census, not in alphabetical order, so with so many Johnson's listed, it'll take several days for me to go thru them. But I don't have any listing for Lucerne Twp at all.

Hi, I have noticed all the posts about the cemeteries and I was in Unionville in April. I'm not sure whether it was the clerk's office or the recorder's, recorder's I think.....they had several small booklets of list of the cemeteries. I know they had the Coffrin Cemetery and the Lemonville or Lemons Cemetery for sure because we found a lot of our Lightfoots and Coffrins there. I know there were others but not sure if they had all of them yet. They also made us copies of maps of the area so we could find the cemeteries easily. The library there is a wealth of information, too. They have all obits indexed and filed alphabetically and were very helpful. Linda

When I was in Unionville, Mo last month the Librarian referred me to the man who owns the Unionville Monument and Granite Works. He has a list of all the Persons buried in the nearby cemeteries. His last name is Probasco. A very helpful gentleman. His business is located right on the square near the library and courthouse. I hope this will help someone.

Hi Judy and Linda, I checked at the library while in Unionville, and they didn't have one. Silly me should have asked at the recorders office, but I had such bad luck trying to get anything from there I never thought to ask. The man next door to the cemetery that mows the lawn there is Homer (or Horace, something like that) Pickering. He's actually a shirt-tail relation to me. He knows where most are, but not where John Silas Glaspie/Gillaspie or Benjamin Pickering is buried. Mr. Pickering had sent us to the house of a woman across the street from the cemetery that was on the cemetery board (?) but couldn't reach her while we were there. Was hoping maybe someone had it? I'll try writing the recorders office tho and see if they have one. Thank you. Sandy -----Original Message----- From: Linda M.

This is the honest truth... when I was in Unionville I asked my Aunt if there was a map of the cemetery to help me find some graves. Her response... "We just have to find the man that mows -- he knows where everyone is buried out there." Judy Johnson
