I was at the Stanton cemetery on August 2nd. I found a marker for Theo Rodgers where I thought I recalled where my parents are buried. I wonder if that is close to the lot where Dexter is? My mothers maiden name was Rodgers and I think I recall that her mother was buried there also. I seem to remember that a brother was buried there in the 1918 to 1919 years at close to the same spot his name was Elmo Louis Mc Donald. That could account for lots 30 and 31. Does the book you checked list who is in charge of Stanton?
