We are looking for the old cemetary in Smithville. Looking for a grave of Yager(Yeager) died in mid 1800's. Sons Henry, Franklin.Yager who moved on to Iowa. Do not know the first names of parents. Parents did not go on to Iowa. Henry married Mary Magdalene Musser of Pennsylvania and they moved to Iowa. Are there marriage records of Henry and Mary? Burial of Yager.

Susie, I do _not_ see any burials in any of the old Smithville cemeteries for the surnames Yager/Yeager. Per the Wayne County Burial Book. This is not saying that they are not buried there as most were tombstone reading that were recorded. The Index to Marriages of Wayne County, Ohio 1813-1898 has this this listing. Yager, Henry m. Mary Musser 23 Sep 1848 vol. 4C pg. 109. The license does not have the return part completed, which means that 23 Sep 1848 may only be the date they applied. The 1850 Census notebook of Wayne County has this: Fam 121 Chester Township 335 YEAGER, Henry 22 Ohio stone mason, Mary 24 PA, Fyann E. 5/12 OH, also MUSSER, Mary 57 PA. >From the Wayne County Burial Book I see that the Fyann is buried in the Old Dutch Reformed or Old Congress Cemetery in Congress Township. Fyann d/o N & M Yeger 1y 5m 8-15-1851 Thats about all I can do, hope it helps. Bob Strock Susie Holderfield wrote: > > We are looking for the old cemetary in Smithville.
