Hi Gina, Are you aware of the STIFFLER name that appears in Vol. 4 of Janice Looney's Index to Taney County Cemeries that shows in the EDWARDS Cemetery in Row 7 the Index shows the following wording" quote "The next 6 markers were cement in the ground with the names engraved Stiffler Stiffler Phelan Phelan R.F. Fisher D. unquote In this same Volume is a reading done in Nov. 1988 of Mt. Olive Cemetery in which there is a notation that the Army Corps of Engineers called this cemetery Casey-Yandell Cemetery but that today it is commonly called Mt. Olive. There is a list of the names of some burials that were moved into this cemetery in 1951 to escapte the rising waters of Bull Shoals Dam but no STIFFLER name. Vol. 7 of Janice Looney's Index to Taney Co Cemeteries lists the CASEY Cemetery read 5 Oct 1993 and she makes notation that some parts of the cemetery were overgrown with vines, which could have hidden some graves, but listed in that cemetery Index on p32 are the following: STIFFLER, Mary A. 31 July 1846--19 Oct 1929 STIFFLER, Georgan 1845--1887 STIFFLER, George W. 1 Ark L.A. On p32a, is the following Casey Cemetery Abstract Obit from the Taney County Republican Newspaper: quote "George W. STIFFLER was born 23 July 1844 in Arkansas & died Dec 1924. He was a private in Co A 1st Batt Ar Lt Art. He died 3 miles north east of Forsyth. He came to Taney County after the war." unquote In another message that you sent today, you asked the meaning of some markings which I assume you found on one the Taney Co cemetery websites that Bill Dunn referred us to earlier today---markings such as @142 @IND1. Those markings are what shows up when you make a GEDCOM of your family records from one of the software programs such as Personal Ancestral File (PAF), FamilyTreeMaker (FTM) etc. and refer to the identification of the Individual or the Family No. of the person who made up the GEDCOM which is a report that allows you to transmit records from your database in those programs to someone else. They have no meaning to anyone other than the person making up the program, except that when you try to decipher the data from the GEDCOM, those markings/numbers are how you can figure out who is related to who in any particular GEDCOM. I thought it was rather strange that this type of record was shown for that cemetery listing but guess there are stranger things in life!!!!!

I visited personally in 1996 and took pictures of my g-g-grandfather's grave along with those of his 2 wives - George Washington Stiffler, Georgann (Georgia Ann Tye) Stiffler and Mary Napier (nee?) Stiffler. It is also believed that George's father - John Bardell Stiffler "Uncle John Stiffler" was buried there in an unmarked grave or a grave that has yet to be unrecovered from all the bushes and overgrowth. I am writing this specifically for it to be logged into the archives for the county. ~gina thomas patterson~ Visit my homepage at http://hometown.aol.com/ginaburningsky/myhomepage/business.html <A HREF="http://burningskyenterprises.com/">Burningskyenterprises.com</A> ==== MOTANEY Mailing List ==== ============================== Visit Ancestry's Library - The best collection of family history learning and how-to articles on the Internet. http://www.ancestry.com/learn/library
