Charlotte, I am in the same boat. I just found out that my grandmother's infant sister is buried here, yet there is no marker on the grave. I want to find out where this baby is.  Does anyone know where graveyard site maps are kept?

Two great sources would be Lauren Mosley at the historical society archives in the old St. Luke's Hospital and COJ's Historic Preservation Office on the 3rd floor of the Ed Ball Building.

Charlotte Lynn Hopkins:  If you ever make it back here, I found someone with a site map and burial list--she couldn't help me, as my loved one didn't have listed the plot location, but she may be able to help you.  Write to me and I'll send you her info (she gave me permission to share it with you): lloyd.fam(at)juno.com  ~Dori
