Ron sorry to report that if you didn't find documentation other than an
obit. that may be the only documentation there will be. I have tried to
keep track of the Deckard Cemetery in Brown County and there are not much in
records other than if you are lucky to find funeral home records. Most of
the older cemeteries just don't have records. Even Clear Creek Cemetery in
Monroe County which is very active does not have good records for the oldest
section. I was lucky enough at the Deckard Cemetery to find some people who
actually dug the graves for some of the people, so if there was no marker,
they knew who the person was. If it isn't in the Brown County Cemetery Book
or not enough proof in the obit, you may not find better information.
I will try to check and see if Bear Creek has a cemetery association, but
even that may not prove helpful for finding a burial. Sorry to be so
negative, but that is just the way things happen. Just recently a group of
people from the Deckard Cemetery donated and put up a grave stone for a dear
friend. He had been without one for over 12 years.

Hi:
Could someone please provide me a contact name and address for the Bear
Creek Cemetery? I visited there a couple years back, but no one was at
the church when I was there.
I have information from the Bear Creek Cemetery Listing from the Brown Co
Hist. Society, but the individual I am seeking is not on that list. I am
looking for my ggrandmother, Hester Ann (David) Thompson. Her obit
states she was buried at Bear Creek, so need to speak with someone
concerning the actual records for the cemetery.
She supposedly is buried in the same grave as her husband, William F.
Thompson, but need to obtain some type of documentation to substantiate
this info. We found William F.'s grave, but did not find any reference
to Hester Ann.
Thanks in advance.
