Hello, listers. I asked this question, in a different way, before, but have not received any answers, so here it is, re-phrased. Is there a list of the cemeteries of Buncombe and other WNC counties, showing the main years in which each cemetery was established, utilized, filled, and replaced by more recently established burying grounds?? I am sure that gravesites of 100 years ago still have some available plots for a grave, here or there, among the family spaces, but how can one know, other than by inspecting for the earliest grave, when such a place was first established?? That is one question. Another one is --- how can one find out, other than by walking in the graveyard, who may be buried in some given location?? I am sure that there are data-bases for some larger and more financially stable graveyards, but what can be found about the ones which are smaller, and perhaps not currently 'cared for' well enough to even be mowed, and tended by a grounds-keeper?? My wife is not able to walk in grave yards, physically, so to find a 'lost' grave of an ancestor (when the actual burial place is not known) is more of a challenge than she can bear, in spite her strong desire to go and look!! Can any one suggest any alternatives??? Thanks.
