Lydia Burgess below is a sister to Ida Noltkamper Gamblin, wife of William Gamblin. I found Lydia's death certificate in the MO database. I cannot find her husband Charles Burgess in that database. I believe the name to be Charles Robert Burgess, but according to the obit for William Gamblin he may have gone by Bob Burgess. He is listed in a couple of places as being buried in the Glenda Cemetery with the info shown below. Based on the info below, he appears to have a headstone. I have tried every possible search I could think of and I still cannot find a death certificate for him. I thought maybe somehow he was missed in the index, so I ordered a death certificate for him from the State of MO twice. My requests came back empty. Does anyone have any information on Charles Robert Burgess's death and where a death certificate might be found?
