Thank you all. I see Fish Creek Church and Cemetery right here: http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=39.18611&lon=-92.96917&datum=NAD27&s=50&size=l I also found the cemetery listing. I may be wrong, but I have the town location as being 0.7 miles north of there, right here: http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=39.19667&lon=-92.96917&datum=NAD27&s=50&size=l I try to be exact, so if anybody has a better defined location for the town, please let me know.
