Stan,

These books are old inventories and were done in 1972. Any burials after
that are not in them. NO the unmarked stones are unknown. The people who did
the inventorys just walked through and listed the graves.

The cemetery you are referring to for William Padgett is the Musick
Cemetery.
There are two Musick Cemeteries with a total of 6 graves.

The old St. Elizabeth Cemetery is not listed. I have been there but had to
get directions at the bank in St. Elizabeth. Owen Riggs is buried there. You
would think the place would be a Shrine. He established the Old Town of St.
Elizabeth on the Osage River. He helped bring the Catholic Church to St.
Elizabeth. His brother and him helped every one they could. When he was
murdered he had 6000 acres but little money. He spent it on the town and
poor people. I guess everyone was poor then, but we didn't know it, and in
most cases was lot happier than now. We had values, because we didn't have
anything much of value. Christmas was really Christmas. If you got a present
it was hand-made and only one. You decorated the tree with home-made
ornaments. We would sit on the floor and string popcorn together with a
needle & thread, to wrap around the tree. Go out in the woods and find pine
cones and paint them different colors. We would have a few ornaments that
someone a long time ago had carved and were handed down from generation to
generation. Mom would make cookies with home-made chocolate icing. Sometimes
she would make fudge, if we had enough sugar. I was the littliest, I got to
lick the spoon. They would take me out in woods and I got to pick the tree.

Well there I go again. What this has to do with cemeteries is beyond me.
