Was located on main street. In fact even more bizzare in the fact that I once lived right across the street from said funeral home. And Tom's bussiness partner a one Benny Taylor who was a cousin to my husband's mother. Lineage is like: Frank O. Barger m. Vera Taylor who was my husband's grandparents. They had Sylvia,Bernice,Opal,Valma (my mother in law),Hazel,Pearl,Frank William (Bud),Betty,Lola Mae. Now, you may check the Huntsville,Mo historical society or the Moberly Monitor Index thru the Little Dixie Library and they may be able to help you with an obit. I can tell you that your family buried several generations of my family. In fact Tommy buried both my Father in law, mother in law and her mother Vera Taylor Barger. As well as numerous cousins. You may also be able to find information at the Huntsville,Cemetary itself. If your Robert is buried there. And if you know where he is I would be more than willing to photgraph the stone for you when we go there in the spring for our trek down. My husband said that your Patton family farm if was located in Salt Spring Township would have been South of Huntsville, but can't quite recall it. And you could be very right about the coal mine. As NEMO coal bought up a bunch of land in that area. As well as my mother in laws parents homeplace out North of Huntsville.
