Is the Danner Cemetery in Gattman on a hill just southwest of the blinking light? I remember this as a child, but never went there. I have two uncles who died as babies who are buried there, but I think I remember my Grandmother saying they did not have markers. One died in 1919 and in 1925 so any temporary marker would be long gone.

Anne, Greg, the cemetery is located a Anne described it. It may be 100 yards from the highway on the south side.
