Hello List: I really don't know why there should be a problem preserving old cemeteries. Orange county, Ca., is a good example. The Yorba cemetery has been in Orange county since Bernardo Yorba was granted land by Spain. The cemetery was in a rural setting east of Atwood and South of Yorba Linda until the housing boom started in Orange county. The cemetery was set aside and preserved by Orange county. I last saw the cemetery in 1993 and it was a beautiful setting surrounded by homes and apartments.

Norman - I haven't heard of the Yorba cemetery and I must live 10 - 15 miles from it. I will definitely check it out. Are you here in the area? Are your Blansett folks from Randolph County, Mo. My ancestor, Joe Lay, married an Ethleen Blansett, who was the daughter of a Moses Blansett. Ethleen was born in the late 1800's and died mid 1900's (don't have my notes out).
