    3. Hello, I'm new to the list and am seeking information on how I would go about getting a copy of the plot map and owners for plots in the Powersville Cemetery. I have a great-great grandfather, grandmother, and two of their children buried there. All have headstones except my great-great grandfather, Erastus Darias Baker. I'm having a really hard time pinning down his birth and death dates. I could probably write for an obituary if I had the death date. He was born about 1831 in Colesville, Broome County, New York and moved to Missouri somewhere around 1850. He died sometime between 1905 and 1910. He applied for a Civil War pension in 1905 and his wife, Jane Louden Christy Baker is living in Clark County, Missouri, as a widow by 1910. His pension was not granted. Is there a Sexton or Cemetery Keeper of some sort that I could write to and get this information? I've been working on this guy for years. Every so often I try again to find exact birth and death dates. He lived so recently I feel I ought to have them. I have pictures. Neither one of their children who are buried there had children. I would love to hear from anyone who might have this information.
