The one's that I have show the cemetery. See item #5 -vital records and then #13 has the email link. http://www.slpl.lib.mo.us/libsrc/geneinfo.htm Their names did not appear on the Post Dispatch Obit Index but the library has other newspapers. You might want to request a lookup in the other papers. There were some Kettlegardes on the Catholic Cemetery Index but not yours. These are cemeteries owned by the Archdiocese. If the family was Catholic and buried in a cemetery owned by a church, they would not appear on this index from what I understand. http://www.stlcathcem.com/ Any possibility that they are buried back in Illinois is a family plot?
