Don, I just realized that I didn't have Harold, Kathleen or Clara Buxton listed on the listing for Knights of Pythias Cemetery in Park Hills. I seem to recall taking a photo of Harold and Kathleen's tombstones. I don't recall whether Clara had a stone or not. I don't know what I did with the photos. I'll go back by there in the next day or two and take them again. I did add their names to the list and will link the names to the photos after I get them uploaded. What date of death do you have for Kathleen, wife of your Uncle Harold? According to her obit she died in December of 2000 at age 92, but the obit gives her date of birth as February of 1909. That, according to my calculations, means she was still 91 years old when she died, not yet 92. Does the newspaper obit have her age wrong? Also, do you know if Harold was buried there because that's where his mother, Jane Buxton, is buried? I've looked for a stone for her there but haven't been able to find one. Also, are any of the other Buxton children buried there? Thanks! Bettye On Tue, 2 Dec 2008 20:07:15 -0600 "Don Yeager" <donaldyeager@charter.net> wrote: > My uncle was Harold Buxton, Jane's son.

Don, You can disregard my question about where Jane Buxton is buried. I located her death certificate and it confirms burial in Knights of Pythias Cemetery so I added her to list.

Harold and Kathleen ar both burried in the upper right hand corner of the cemetery next to each other. She died in the year 2000 at the age of 91. She outlived three of her six children. Edna Mae is burried around Denver, Co. I'm not sure but I beleive Eugene and Bobby are both in Knights of Pythias. Because of the age dif. between her children and my mother's, we didn't really get to know each other that well as cousins. ----- Original Message ----- From: "B.
