Bettye, Yes you are right and Helen's death certificate also states that she is buried in "St. Francois Co.".......could this mean she is buried within St. Francois County or in the St. Francois Co. Cemetery??? If she is listed on a list from the IOOF Cemetery in Farmington could these two cemeteries be one in the same or ???? Arvil's death certificate does say St. Francois Co. Cem and Helen & Lula's just has Farmington, MO.....family history has them buried at the same cemetery as Arvil's......this can be very confusing!! Thanks for the insight Karen                              In search of my mother's garden, I found my own.....                                                                                                             Alice Walker ________________________________ From: B.
