I am searching for the EXACT location of the "Medlock Cemetery" located on the old Ira Chrisco farm in Rector. It is located on the site of the Old Gladden Valley Baptist Church which has long since disappeared. I was there a few years ago, walked all along the Gladden creek bottom on both sides of the road and into some of the hills on the Ira Chrisco farm and found pretty much nothing. I have a GPS receiver and the topographical map of the area. I would appreciate accurate directions to this cemetery as I will again be in the area in mid-July, 2009 and I will search again as my GGG Grandfather, David Medlock is buried there......

I am interested in the Skiles that were located in Dent Co. Missouri. Specifically Peter Skiles and Family as he is my gr. gr. gr. grandfather.

I would be interested in knowing if there is a plot map or such that would specifically outline all burial plots of the Skiles in Mt Herman or elsewhere in the area. Any and all info you have in regards to the Skiles would be greatly appreciated.

Surnames: Taff, Bennett,

Posted: 09 Jul 2009

I’m looking for the gravesite of two of my direct ancestors who settled in Dent County in the mid 1800s.

George Washington Taff, married to Mary Rebecca (Bennett) Taff. George, a veteran of the War of 1812, died in Dent County on March 26, 1855. Mary died in Dent County October 3, 1854. Both have to be buried in Dent, but I can’t find them in any of the cemeteries listed on line. Anyone recognize the name or happen to have a Taff buried on the property somewhere?
Thanks,
John

He returned to Columbus and worked a few more years at Bonney-Floyd until 1968.

Wes also enjoyed working at Muirfield Golf Club and Wedgewood Golf Club, where he had many friends. He was a one time member of The Knights of St. John and The Shamrock Club. Wes loved his gift of woodworking and shared it with others. He was a long-time parishioner of Our Lady of Mt.
