Sandy, do you have a full listing of burials in the cemetery and if so, how far back does it go? Am interested in any and all BOUTON & ROCKEFELLER (any sp).

I just tried it and I was amazed to see the coat hangers very slowly cross right over top of each other! I know about dowsing for water but never knew about this. I'm cemetery historian for Plains Cem. in Oneonta and I can't wait to go down try this as there are supposed burials in some lots but can't find any sign of a burial. Maybe this will help. Thanks.
