    1. [MOTANEY] Oasis, Taney Co.,Cedar Valley?-BAINs
    2. Can anyone on this list help me with the history of a cemetery? I believe my ancestors (Daniel and Sarah BAIN) were buried in a cemetery in Taney Co., near what was the town of Oasis. Daniel died in 1906. My understanding was that the town was flooded by the lake in the 1950s and that the cemetery was moved up on to a hill nearby along the highway. I was there (Cedar Valley) years ago and found Daniel's headstone, but I have been unable to locate the grave of his wife, Sarah, who died several years later and was rumored to have also been buried in this cemetery. I am not sure whether something happened to her stone through the years, or whether she maybe wasn't even buried there to begin with. Death certificate data has proven uninformative. So, I guess my question ultimately is, who would have the original sexton's records for a cemetery that got dug up and moved??? Thanks for your thoughts, Chris Tulsa, OK
