Jan:

First check Enoch Pratt Library for an obituary for
Sameul Beidler and see if it lists a burial site.
http://www.pratt.lib.md.us/ They will do look-up's for
you although I don't know what the time-frame is for
which they have obits.

Next consider acquiring the death certificate from MD
Archives.
http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/refserv/html/deathhis.html
Bear in mind that for 1857 there might not have been a
death certificate, I don't think it was required at
that time.

Next, see if you friend knows where his grandparents
lived and that might help narrow down the area and you
can see what cemeteries are in the neighborhood, also
if they were of a particular religious affiliation
that would help also.

There is no one place, listing, etc. of all burials in
the state; alas unless someone has found one recently,
I don't think there is even a listing of all the
cemeteries in the state!

Also, you might see if the MSA has a will filed for
him.
