CyberLemon--do you have the Moon Cemetery on there? I think that's Jackson Co., too.

<Teresa> 

Everyone, I hate to dash off so quickly but I have a phone call that I mus take. I'll read the transcripts to see what I miss! Goodnight and good hunting!

<johnluke> 

Thanks ADM for putting all this on....I really have a lot of gaps and need helpers. God bless all of you and I hope you find what you need. GOTTA GO

<CyberLemon> 

hang on, let me check

<huntsvilleADM> 

Does it have just public cemeteries? or even private ones, too?

<Granny> 

Nite, johnluke!

<huntsvilleADM> 

nite, johnluke!

<CyberLemon> 

ADM, yea... but it is known as Bingham cemetery

<huntsvilleADM> 

does it say that, CyberLemon?

<missouri> 

Sorry guys, I have to leave too. My better half is calling me.

<huntsvilleADM> 

There's some Bingham's in the family, too.

<CyberLemon> 

yes it does

<CyberLemon> 

Bingham, Moons and Sanders are buried there

<Granny> 

nite, missouri...glad you could be here tonight!

<CyberLemon> 

16 marked and 50 unmarked graves

<huntsvilleADM> 

Yeah, that's my whole family......well, maybe not the Moons.

<CyberLemon> 

ADM, its located back in the woods

<huntsvilleADM> 

WOW--lot of unmarked....does it have names? looking for Ben Oliver SANDERS.

<Granny> 

ADM...probably has snakes!

<huntsvilleADM> 

Ouch!

<Monal> 

yuks

<CyberLemon> 

lists the three I mentioned as buried there

<huntsvilleADM> 

I heard Ben was buried someone that was hard to find and on a hillside (mountainside, actually). He died in February and they were trapped in with the snow.

<CyberLemon> 

first internment was Ophelia Osmer, who died in 1915

<huntsvilleADM> 

that ""someone"" is ""somewhere""......duh

<Granny> 

Unfortunately, a lot of the out of the way, small cemeteries are not being kept up. The lady who recorded the Old Tanyard Cemetery said she ran into snakes and stepped in a grave. No one should venture into a cemetery without a companion.

<CyberLemon> 

well Bingham is about 3 miles north of Garth, no roads marked on the map
