Right! And if someone really did enumerate them this way - SHAME ON THEM! We have enough trouble identifying wives in old records without someone wiping them out of an entire cemetery!

Do you suppose the person enumerating the cemetery just used "Ux" as a shorthand notation so to speak that the wife was buried along side of the husband. I have worked (and am doing so now) on updating the listing for several cemeteries, one of which is very old. I have never seen "Ux" on any tombstone and I have literally looked at (and copied and/or dictated) information from thousands of monuments, markers, rocks or whatever happens to be there. I copy absolutely everything that can be read and "Ux" does not appear in hundreds of pages of transcriptions. Do we have someone close enough to Sardis, MS to check this out for us?
