I have been a volunteer for the Cherokee County Kansas Genealogical-Historical Society since 1980. ([email protected]) As I am typing obit cards from old county newspaper death notices and obituaries I check to see if a tombstone exists in the cemetery mentioned in the obit. If not I add the names and dates as they are given. (Some information may be from Missouri death records). I hope this helps anyone who has been unable to find where their ancestor is buried. I am happy to transfer any memorial I have added to anyone who has an interest in that person.
My own family names are Keely, Prigmore, King (Koenig), Green, Gasaway, Cooksey, McCarty, Schmitt, Bera, Ziegler, and James.
