Nance, That Bear's Grass cemetery sounds like that might be it. All my dad could tell me was that his father took him out around Augusta to the cemetery. The grave I am looking for is that of Wilhelmina nee Kuehn Hammer. I have posted about her before. She married Philip Hammer in Lincoln Twp, aka Fall Creek, and later her and Philip lived in Bridge Creek Twp, aka Augusta, so that might be the right cemetery. Thank you so much for checking for me this weekend. I am so heartbroken over not being able to honor Wilhelmina's grave. I am sure that no one in my father's family has been there at least since the time my father went in the early 60's, if that was indeed the grave they visited. Thanks again.
