Couple things.

On the tombstone photo cemetery listing page. All the Bruner links point
to the same page. Thought you would like to know if they aren't supposed to.

As I was cruising through all the listings. It struck me that the vast
majority of the dates of death were after 1900. A few did have older
dates, but very few. I know there were people living and dieing around
there from sometime before 1800. Did they just plant them out in the
back field with no records. Don't get me wrong. I know that in various
places and times that wasn't all that uncommon a practice. The gravesite
was known for a couple generations then lost to posterity.

The reason I'm curious about this is that I'm trying to find "any"
information on possible family in that area. The deaths of those I'm
most interested in would have been between 1850 and about 1900. The
higher date is rather pushing it. They would have been somewhere around
Hardinsburg so I would think they would have been buried somewhere close by.

I was talking to the lady at the oldest cemetery in Enid Oklahoma, where
I come from, about locating someone. She told me that there are dozens,
possibly hundreds, of unknown/un-marked graves in that cemetery.
Sometimes they sell a plot and when the time comes to open it there is
already someone there. In older times record keeping could be rather
.......... sloppy.
