    3. New Webster County Cemetery Book available For three years Michael Henline has been traveling back country roads, searching through record books at the courthouse, and interviewing county residents in an effort to identify and record Webster County cemeteries. He has obtained the cooperation of numerous researchers and previously published authors to compile the most extensive and thorough study of Webster County cemeteries to date. This material is presented in two different formats, a CD version for computers and the traditional book form. The book is 230 pages long and contains transcriptions of 129 cemeteries, plus 25 pages of maps showing the approximate locations of over 250 Webster County cemeteries. It is estimated that the book contains in excess of four thousand burials. The Cds contain the same information as the book plus an additional six thousand names from the John Reed burial files, which lists burials from 1937-1995. The CDs are searchable with any computer word processing program, which makes finding your ancestor and where they are buried a snap. This book includes all the cemeteries and notes published by Ron Hardway in his two volumes, 'Historic Cemeteries of Webster County' (which were published in the early 1980's and are out of print and nearly impossible to find). It also includes most of the cemeteries published by Stanley Anderson in 'Cemeteries of Northern Webster County' taken from the 1978 edition of his book. In addition to the previously published work contributed by these two authors there are also cemeteries transcribed by about a half dozen other researchers. This book is more than just recording the information on tombstones, not only did researchers visit cemeteries and record the tombstones but in many instances personal intervies and records searchers were performed to determine the identities of people in unmarked graves. Some cemeteries have biographical notes attached, to further identify the people and help put them in historical perspective. The following people made significant contributions to this project.
